Quote context

[...]

- Oh, well that makes everything all right, doesn't it? Sit down!

- Thank you.

- Your name is...

- Dorothy Wynant. I'm Clyde Wynant's daughter.

- Oh yes! Of course. Your father was having some trouble with one of his inventions a few years ago. I handled the case for him.

- Yes, I know. That's why I want to speak to you now.

- Well, I'm not practicing anymore. You see, I retired.

- Please Mr. Charles. I need you.

- Oh? what seems to be the trouble?

- It's Dad. He went away about three months ago and I haven't heard from him. Not a word. I'm worried sick.

- Oh, I wouldn't if I were you. After all he's an inventor. When he gets an idea he wants to work on, it's only natural that he should hide away somewhere. He's done it before.

- Yes, but never for 3 months!

- Did you see him before he left?

- No. Mr. Macaulay was the only one he spoke to. Well, Macaulay and Julia Wolf - she's Dad's secretary.

- Julia Wolf? Oh yes, I believe I've met her.

- And Macaulay is your father's lawyer, isn't he?

- Yes.
