ნაწყვეტი წიგნიდან:

Mr Symington and Mr Blenkinsop entered Andrew Brown's life on possibly his worst morning

at Lexington International Bank. He had spent ten years trying to climb the career ladder. Most

days, he sat in front of a computer for twelve hours and made guesses about other people's

money. Did he really want to get to the top of the ladder? Well, everyone at the bank was

climbing it, so he hoped that he would like the top when he arrived there.

And now there was a chance of a promotion, which would mean more important meetings, with

more important people. Then, one day, he might get another promotion, and then... one day he

would be the boss of the whole office. Andrew could not remember why he wanted to be the

boss, but, anyway, it was important to have a dream.
