'It's natural for a young man applying for a job in the publishing industry to be pleased, although somewhat nervous, when he's called for an interview. Ralph thinks that he can handle it but he soon finds himself floundering under a barrage of unexpected questions.

'It seems that the people he meets might be expecting a considerable amount more from him than he was anticipating.
