Josh Says the Wrong Thing

"Excuse me for saying so, sir, but that is quite impossible. Mr. Burbank is only in his forties."

"Er yes, I suppose you're right. I'm... his nephew. That's it, his nephew. Would it be possible for me to meet him?"

1. The teller's expression suggested that he thought that Josh was either insane or else a very suspicious character. "I'm sorry, sir, but that will not be possible," he said.
2. "I had always understood that Mr. Burbank was an only child," the teller said.
3. "I suppose I could ask him if he would see you," the teller said. "What name should I give?"
4. The Time Traveller, sensing that things were not going well, intervened at this point.
