 "Mr Feetch—" said Piltdon.

Feetch looked up from his desk in the newly constructed Feetch Multi-Dimensional Development Division of the Piltdon Opener Company. "Piltdon, don't bother me about production. Production is your problem."

"But Mr. Feetch—"

"Get out," said Feetch.

Piltdon blanched¹ and left.

"As I was saying, Hanson—" continued Feetch.
