...please

Hello, I'm still mucking about with my decorator patterns. I have an
annoying problem though. I am trying to wrap (or decorate) a class, like
so:

Company cotest = new CompanyDecorator(new Company("Jeff's Corp."));

I have done this simply by extending Company with CompanyDecorator and
adding a relation:

protected Company    theDecoratedCompany;

I managed to wrap an interface before and decorate all the classes that
implemented it, but this Company class is giving me problems because the
Company constructor accepts a String as a  parameter (eg "Jeffs corp") ,
yet it seems my CompanyDecorator needs to accept a Company as a
parameter, since I have related it to Company and the point is to wrap a
Company in the first place. So, I can't see how I call the Constructor
in Company from the CompanyDecorator constructor and pass the String,
rather than the Company.

Am I doing anything obviously wrong?

I chopped this down to SEC. As you can see I cheated by using
toString(), which gives garbage rather than "Jeff's Corp".
