Explanation:

We can make this conclusion because we are told from the text that Mr. Woodifield said, "Y'are very snug in here," referring to his friend the boss. He also seems to be distracted when we are told,

"There was something I wanted to tell you," said old Woodifield, and his eyes grew dim remembering."Now, what was it? I had it in my mind when I started out this morning." His hands began to tremble, and patches of red showed above his beard."

By his words and actions, it seems to showcase the character of a flaky and distracted person.
