The Pen And Paper Anarchist-- Act 2--Scene 3.

Tony is sitting in Mr Fitz's office.He looks  peevish  and  fretting.Mr Fitz giving Tony a very judgmental look.
Fitz--"These days the publishing market is very slow and we can only publish books that are going to be winners."
Tony--"I understand that sir.This is my very first novel and I need a breakthrough.I can speak for myself that a lot of time and effort is spent writing this story."
Fitz--"Every one thinks the same of their own book but only the public would decide the success or the failure."
Tony--"I agree with you totally.I only ask you to read it and if you think is promising will you take a chance to publish it."
Fitz--"(laughs) Leave your manuscript with me and I will let you know."
Tony--"How long will I have to wait in suspense sir?If you would give me a time limit."
Fitz--"I can't give you any time or promise I am afraid but if you want to know ring us in about a month time.That's the best I can do for the time being."
Tony--"Thank you very much sir.I look forward to hear good news from you."
Fitz--"Just give me a ring in a months time.We take it from there."
Tony--"Thank you.Thank you so much.I am very grateful for your willingness sir.Thanks again."
He nearly fall off the chair while trying to get up but manage to keep his balance.Raising his right hand as if he is saluting Fitz and walk out of the office.
Fitz--(to himself)"What an odd character this guy is.If his book is like him I will not read it."
Then he shouts out loud "Carlie!!! Carlie!!! where are you?Will you come in here for a minute."
Carlie enters "I am here!.I am here! What would you like?Another cup of tea?"
Fitz--"No. No.I want you to take this manuscript of Tony Lee and read it and let me know what you think of it.He truly is a funny character an odd ball I should say."
Carlie--"He seems alright to me.Very polite and gentle.I met him on his way out.He asked me to ring him as soon as you finish reading his manuscript.Poor man he seem so desperate."
Fitz--"Desperate bugger he is.That's no doubt.Oh! What a day! I think I need my lunch.Will you order me a Donna Kebab from the Turkish shop  and a bottle of beer."
Carlie--"Yes sir! Yes sir!I will do that right now.Is that all?"
Fitz--"Yes for the moment.Thank you girl."He pull a cigar out of his pocket and lit it.
Carlie exit from the door.
