the number written on the paper, and Mr Ward waited a few
moments. “So, Mr Scout, do you wish to take the position?”
“If you wish me to teach your daughter, I will do so,” Mr
Scout announced as the redness disappeared from his cheeks.
Mr Ward nodded, pulling out another large piece of paper from
inside the folder and handing it to Mr Scout, which he took
with a small smile.

please read through it and bring it with you, signed, tomorrow,”
Mr Ward stated.
“Yes sir,” Mr Scout agreed, picking up his briefcase and
standing up. “It was a pleasure to meet you, Mr Ward.”
“Thank you for your time. Benson will show you out,” Mr
Ward said, picking up a small bell from beside the chair and
ringing it. A few seconds later Benson opened the door and Mr
Scout was about to follow him out.
