"Oh, I see, what kind of test is it? Do you need me to hurry them up for you?" The vice president wanted to please these two old men, but it was quite apparent that the attempt to flatter them had backfired. Once the vice president spoke, he was met with unhappy looks from both old masters.
The vice president didn't realize what he had said wrong, and it was only because of the president's indication not to speak further that he stopped talking. Although both the president and vice president stopped speaking, knowing their place, they couldn't leave while the two distinguished guests remained.
