pressure, is a sure way to lose a customer.
THORN: I see a couple of rather strong letters have been sent to this firm with no
reply. Have they gone bankrupt?
BUCKHURST: I hope not. H'm. I'll get Shuttleworth on to that one right away. What
time is it? Nine o'clock. He may not have left home yet. I'll ring him at once.
(A week later Mr. Shuttleworth is in London. He goes to see Mr. Buckhurst in
his office.)
BUCKHURST: Come along in, Mr. Shuttleworth. Have you seen Mr. Martin yet?
SHUTTLEWORTH: Yes, I have. Mr. Buckhurst. He's just told me about my new

BUCKHURST: You did very well about that matter of the bad debt. We didn't even
know that Bush & Green had moved. How did you find out what had happened?
SHUTTLEWORTH: Oh, an amazing bit of luck, really. I made enquiries about Bush
& Green in several shops near their old address. There's a cafe at that address now. I
suspected the people who run the cafe, because they acted strangely when I asked
them what they did with any letters that came for Bush & Green. The chap hesitated
quite a long time before he said that he sent them all back to the Post Office. I was
sure he was lying-
BUCKHURST: What was the bit of luck?
SHUTTLEWORTH: Well, I thought I'd try one more place, and I got into
conversation with the chap who owns the bookshop next door. While I was talking to
