Good evening. I'm so glad you were able to come.
Dinner's ready. Let's go into the dining-room. Mrs.Thompson, will you sit here on my left, and you Mr. Thompsin, there ... How long have you been in London? Oh? only a few days; since last Monday, to be exact, and I'm sorry to say we have to return tomorrow week. Is this your first visit? It's my wife's first visit? but I'v been several times before. I have to come over at least once a year on business and feel quite at home in London. And what do you think of London, Mrs. Thompson? Er-I beg your pardon, I didn't quite catch what you said. I was asking what you thought of London. Oh, I think it's a wonderful place. There always seems to be something interesting to do. And how do you like our weather? Well, it's rather changeable, isn't it? Yes, it is, but on the whole it's not so bad, once you get used to it. Will you have some more chicken? No, thank you. What about you, Mr. Thompson? Yes, please, just a little. It's delicious. I'm so glad you like it. And now what sweet will you have Mrs. Thompson? There's apple tart and cream, or chocolate trifle. Er- trifle for me, please. And you Mr. Thompson? Trifle for me, too, please. |
