Bill wished Ken a happy birthday and asked him: 'I wonder if I could ask you a favour? I don't suppose you could put in a good word for me with Peter?' Ken asked what kind of word and Bill replied: 'This new development that he's planning, the renovation work. It's a big job but I could handle it. I don't expect any favours mind, just a chance to put my pitch. So, if you could have a word?' Ken, for whom all this was news, told him quietly: 'Yes, I'll certainly have a word.' and walked off looking very thoughtful.
