The next morning, the two men discuss the baby and kids deal. The rector says that he won't talk about it, since it's a business deal, but he does want to make sure that the rights to the goods are still in the hands of the children. He also wants the rector to keep his post as the company's vicar. The two men talk about how important it is for the company to have a good reputation in the marketplace, and the rector says he thinks that's what's going on with the company. He says that even if the company is bought, they're going to make their presence felt by investing more money in the business. He's not sure if he'll be able to help them, since he's working for himself. He doesn't want to promise him anything, though, because he knows that the only thing that matters is whether or not the company gets bought.
