Now. Give us a moment.

Now. There seem to be four men playing chess, symbolically speaking. One man appears to have the advantage, but another will take it from him, and your best interests will lie with this second man. The first one now has the ascendancy. Three men work together for their own ends.

Events as you know of them right now are transient. There will be further changes, and these will be to your advantage, if I understand correctly your idea of advantage. The third party will be out. The scramble was initiated by a turnabout, and another turnabout is coming.

At a later date even the fabulous four will be unseated, but you should weather this. There is a Stan to be contended with. On your part the terms will be bettered. You may be expected to move now, but waiting for the further changes would serve your interests more. A paper is being drawn up, and I would suggest you hold out.

On your part the king is an unknown entity, but he will make a move. You are the bishop in the game. May should see evidence of the further changes. A quality that you think of as stable now is not. In other words I would suggest that you play it cagey for now.

The situation is not stable now. The elements in your mind that you consider stable are not. The elements will change at this point quickly.

Now. Four men were involved in the promotion of the man to whom you spoke. One of these will be out for all practical purposes. The others will begin to change the philosophy within the enterprise, so that the climate is more to your liking.

I spoke of two other men who will be in league with you and the man from California. Now when I say a league I do not necessarily mean in conspiracy. Simply that from four corners your philosophies will meet, and each will see advantage for themselves in the promotions of the others.

My dear friend. We shall be part of an association in the future. I shall be incorporated. (Eyes wide open, voice getting louder and stronger.) Now I am glad that you have come to visit us, although I am somewhat disappointed in you. I did indeed use the symbol of the chessboard because I knew that you had been involved with one. I was trying, you see, to make you comfortable by dealing with what I thought was a common point of interest.

And now I will let you take a break, though I am myself in fine form. (Voice strong. Eyes wide, Jane smiled.) And because it is April Fool’s Day, then indeed I give you all a special greeting, and I know that you will not take offense. It is only because of my great esteem for you, and my feeling toward your problems, that I do not allow myself full freedom this evening, for the matter of the voice could indeed be quite unrestrained.

(“Well, we can have a break now.”)
