Talk of nothing but business, and dispatch that business quickly.

To whom it may concern: Aldus asks you again and again that if you want anything from him you make it brief and then leave directly, unless you have come, like Hercules, to hold up the arms of an exhausted Atlas. There will always be work for you to do here, and for as many others who walk in, too.
