P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
“That is all,” I said. Mr. Hudson then smilingly and blandly remarked, “I have formally answered your formal demand, because I suppose you require it; but you know, Mr. Barnum, I can only obey orders.” I assured him that I understood the matter perfectly, and attached no blame to him in the premises. I then proceeded to notify the Secretary of the “Managers’ Association” to call the managers together at twelve o’clock the following day; and there was a full meeting at the appointed time. I stated the facts in the case in the _Herald_ affair, and simply remarked, that if we did not make common cause against any newspaper publisher who excluded an advertisement from his columns simply to gratify a private pique, it was evident that either and all of us were liable to imposition at any time.

白话
巴纳姆说“就这些”，哈德森先生便微笑着礼貌地说，他已经正式答复了巴纳姆的正式要求，因为巴纳姆需要这个答复；但他提醒巴纳姆，自己只能服从命令。巴纳姆表示完全理解，不会怪罪哈德森。随后，巴纳姆通知“经理人协会”秘书，召集所有经理第二天中午开会，结果大家准时到齐。巴纳姆陈述了《先驱报》事件的经过，并简单指出：如果大家不团结起来，共同对抗任何因为私人恩怨而拒绝刊登广告的报纸，那么他们中任何人随时都可能被欺负。
上下文
