The Shepherd And The Solicitor (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
They sat at a table in the library of their offices, the president a plump, balding, pleasant-faced man and the accountant, as sour-faced and thin as any penny-pinching miser. It occurred to Tobin he’d never actually been in any of the machining factories that all this fuss was about, never felt the heat of forges or heard the clang of metal on metal. Never smelled the oily bits of steel or the sweat of the men who took those pieces and assembled them into machines used in other industries. Tobin had only ever experienced Pierce and Associates’ factories as if they were a single entity on paper. As he sat across from the representatives of the board, it all seemed like a chess match with an invented king rather than concerning several factories filled with workingmen. What was best for the workers? Had he ever given a thought for that? But it wasn’t Tobin’s concern. He worked for the board. However, perhaps it should have crossed Daniel’s mind to consider how his grandfather’s company and all its many employees were being managed in his absence.
