Meredith passed the floor, hands clasped firmly behind his back. He knew he should sit down, compose himself, and think of the questions that might be asked of him as the other men who had arrived for interview were doing but Meredith couldn’t stand still. He still didn’t know quite what had possessed him to think finding a job as a tutor would be an adequate way to get back at his eldest brother. He simply knew he didn’t want to live off the family money, his name on the company payroll when Gordon kept him in the back room replying to correspondences and tidying the desk. He wanted to earn what he was paid and the job as a tutor had seemed a fitting one to apply for at the time but now he marched up and down the hallway.
He had no experience in teaching. He’d be laughed out of the room thinking he could start so highly in the employ of the Mayor of London. Meredith considered leaving then and there, making his excuses to the man’s secretary and bolting but he didn’t want to go home with his tail between his legs.
Bolstering up his courage he stopped still and stared at the door, willing it to open so it might be his turn next.
