The same week the Editor of the Journal called Professor McElroy and congratulated him. "Your paper has collected a lot of attention. Many people are asking about its author. I think you should come out and claim it. Why have you chosen to be anonymous about it?"
Professor McElroy was excited. His eyes became wide with a glint of joy. The dream of going to America and working for a big firm like The Silver House was about to come to realization. He had heard that the company offered over $300,000 to its in-house consultants. With a smile he said, "Thank you for your wonderful words, but I would prefer to stay low for now."
The Editor thought what a magnanimous man the professor was. He really liked such people and so he replied politely, "It's your call. If you do not want to disclose your name, I respect that.
"Umm, I have a small request," McElroy added.
"Sure, tell me what you want from me," came a quick response.
