| [00:46.724] | 'Mr Duncan? Come in please. Mr Wilson will see you now.' |
| [00:52.537] | 'Thank you.' |
| [00:55.460] | John Duncan stood up and walked nervously towards the door. |
| [01:02.420] | He was a tall, thin man, about forty-five years old, in an old grey suit. |
| [01:09.924] | It was his best suit, but it was ten years old now. |
| [01:16.221] | He had grey hair and glasses. |
| [01:19.882] | His face looked sad and tired. |
| [01:23.333] | Inside the room, a man stood up to welcome him. |
| [01:29.236] | 'Mr Duncan? |
| [01:31.674] | Pleased to meet you. |
| [01:34.006] | My name's David Wilson. |
| [01:36.684] | This is one of our chemists, Mary Carter.' |
| [01:41.565] | John Duncan shook hands with both of them, and sat down. |
| [01:48.164] | It was a big office,with a thick carpet on the floor and beautiful pictures on the walls. |
| [01:57.093] | David Wilson was a young man, in an expensive black suit. |
| [02:04.124] | He had a big gold ring on one finger. |
| [02:08.757] | He smiled at John. |
| [02:12.157] | 'I asked Miss Carter to come because she's one of our best Chemists. |
| [02:17.756] | She discovered our wonderful new paint, in fact. |
| [02:21.820] | When…I mean, if you come to work here, you will work with her.' |
| [02:29.772] | 'Oh, I see.' |
| [02:32.788] | John looked at Mary. |
| [02:36.100] | She was older than Wil-son—about thirty-five, perhaps—with short brown hair, and a pretty, friendly face. |
| [02:46.628] | She was wearing a white coat with a lot of pens in the top pocket. |
| [02:53.895] | She smiled at him kindly, but John felt miserable. |
| [02:59.335] | I'll never get this job, he thought. |
| [03:04.479] | I'm too old! Employers want younger people these days. |
| [03:10.320] | David Wilson was looking at some papers. |
| [03:13.675] | 'Now, Mr Dun-can,' he said, |
| [03:16.981] | 'I see that you are a very good biologist. |
| [03:21.819] | You worked at a university…and then for two very famous com-panies. |
| [03:28.525] | But…you stopped working as a biologist nine years ago. |
| [03:34.189] | Why was that?' |
| [03:36.132] | 'I've always had two interests in my life,' John said, |
| [03:42.892] | 'biol-ogy and boats. |
| [03:45.932] | My wife was a famous sailor…Rachel Hors-ley…Perhaps you remember her. |
| [03:53.165] | She sailed around the world alone in a small boat.' |
| [03:58.144] | 'Yes,'said David Wilson,' I remember her.' |
| [04:05.765] | 'So we started a business,' said John. 'We made small boats together, and sold them.' |
| [04:13.276] | 'And did the business go well?' asked Wilson. |
| [04:19.045] | 'Very well at first. |
| [04:21.220] | Then we wanted to build bigger, better boats. |
| [04:26.272] | We borrowed too much money. And then my wife…'John stopped speaking. |
| [04:34.294] | 'Yes, the Sevens Race. |
| [04:39.826] | I remember now,' said David Wil-son. |
| [04:46.503] | Both men were silent for a moment. |
| [04:49.237] | Wilson remembered the newspaper reports of the storm and the lives lost at sea. |
| [04:55.241] | He looked at the man who sat sadly in front of him. |
| [05:00.708] | 'So, after my wife died,' continued John,'I closed the business.That was five years ago.' |
| [05:13.634] | 'I see,' said David Wilson. |
| [05:19.180] | 'It's a hard world, the world of business.' |
| [05:23.292] | He looked at John's old grey suit. |
| [05:29.960] | 'So now you want a job as a biologist. |
| [05:32.900] | Well, this is a chemical company, Mr Duncan. |
| [05:37.500] | We make paint. |
| [05:39.813] | But we need a biologist to make sure that everything in this factory is safe. |
| [05:46.468] | We want someone to tell the government that it's safe to work here, and that it's safe to have a paint factory near the town. |
| [05:57.867] | That's impor-tant to us.' |
| [06:00.902] | 'And if something's not safe, then of course we'll change it,' mary Carter said. |
| [06:08.404] | David Wilson looked at her, but he didn't say anything. |
| [06:14.293] | 'Yes, I see,' John began nervously. |
| [06:20.436] | 'Well, I think I could do that. |
| [06:24.693] | I mean, when I worked for Harper Chemicals in Lon-don I…' |
| [06:29.437] | He talked for two or three minutes about his work. |
| [06:35.764] | David Wilson listened, but he didn't say anything. |
| [06:40.860] | When he smiled, it was a cold, hard smile, and it made John feel un-comfortable. |
| [06:50.045] | He remembered his old suit and grey hair, and he wished he hadn't come. |
| [06:57.241] | 'You really need this job, don't you, Mr Duncan?' david Wilson said. |
| [07:04.715] | 'You need it a lot.' |
| [07:07.813] | 'Yes, I do,' he said quietly. |
| [07:12.405] | But he thought: I hate you, Wilson. |
| [07:18.466] | You're enjoying this. |
| [07:20.606] | You like making people feel small. |
| [07:24.894] | I hate people like you. |
| [07:28.556] | Wilson's smile grew bigger. |
| [07:31.286] | He stood up, and held out his hand. |
| [07:35.948] | 'OK,' he said. |
| [07:40.820] | 'When can you start?' |
| [07:42.252] | 'What?' John was very surprised. |
| [07:46.708] | 'What did you say?' |
| [07:48.994] | 'I said, 'When can you start?', Mr Duncan. We need you in our factory as soon as possible. Will Monday be OK?' |
| [08:00.151] | 'You mean I've got the job?' |
| [08:04.431] | 'Of course. Congratulations!' Wilson shook John's hand. |
| [08:13.348] | 'My secretary will tell you about your pay. |
| [08:17.264] | You'll have your own office, and a company car, of course. |
| [08:21.531] | I'd like you to start work with Mary on Monday. |
| [08:25.844] | Is that OK?' |
| [08:29.044] | 'I…Yes, yes, of course. |
| [08:33.988] | That's fine. |
| [08:35.966] | Thank you, thank you very much.' |
| [00:07.668] | A New Start |
