Noticing Aldus's brewing irritation, Theodore had no choice but to placate him, "I'll arrange a visit soon."

Aldus, however, was not easily appeased. He demanded, “I wish to meet her at once."

"Grandpa, wait!"

Startled, Theodore snatched the phone out of Aldus's hand with quick urgency. Shaking his head, he said, “Not right now. I‘1l handle it later."
