After Lynch hung up the phone, it took Mr. Pato two or three minutes to return to the table and sit down.
He gave Lynch some time to think over and digest the information he got from the call. This is a matter of courtesy and manners.
Of course, one cannot use someone's manners as a standard to cover all behavioral rules because everyone is in different social classes, and they approach the world and the world approaches them differently.
You can't expect a worker to give you two or three minutes to process this information. They might not even avoid you before you connect the call and instead watch you with a open attitude.
As a result, when you look at them, they might inexplicably ask you, "Aren't you going to answer the phone?"
Well-mannered people can make one feel like basking in the warm sunlight of early spring with a gentle breeze blowing, but those who lack manners aren't necessarily a harsh winter.
Not necessarily!
