A FRIENDLY VISIT
The other evening, Mary and I were reading in the sitting-room when the bell rang. The maid answered the door and showed in our neighbour, Mr. Thomas Smith. Our families are very friendly. He calls me by my nickname, Bill; though
my real name is William. I call him Tom, which is short for Thomas.
I: Hallo, Tom. Come in. Glad to see you.
TOM: Good evening, Mary. Hallo, Bill. Susan sends her regards. She wants you both to come with us to the pictures.
MARY: That's very kind of her. How is she?
TOM: She's very well, but she's rather anxious about young Tommy.
MARY: What's the matter with him? Nothing serious, I hope.
TOM: I don't think so. He's got a slight temperature, but I expect he'll be all right by to-morrow. Anyway, she preferred to stay with him.
MARY: Quite right too. You can't be too careful when youngsters have temperatures. I hope he'll be better soon, or we shan't be able to go to the cinema.
TOM: Oh, I expect he'll soon get over it. We were thinking of Saturday if that will suit you.
MARY: You're not doing anything on Saturday, are you, Bill?
I: No, dear, I've got nothing on on Saturday.
MARY: That's all right, then. Tell Susan we shall be delighted to come.
TOM: That's settled, then. Now how about getting there?
I: Why don't we all go in our car? It's getting on in years, but it still manages to go.
TOM: That'll be fine. By the way, we haven't decided what to see. I hear there's something good on at the Palace.
I: Yes, "The Emperor's Daughter." But Mary and I have already seen that. What about "Desert Secret" at the Alhambra?
MARY: That sounds exciting. Let's see that. That is if Susan and you haven't already seen it.
TOM: No, we haven't. We were thinking of suggesting it ourselves.
MARY: Good. Now why don't Susan and you come and have some dinner with us before the show? If you come at a quarter past seven, we shall be able to start by eight. That should give us plenty of time.
TOM: I'm sure Susan will be glad to come. I won't book the tickets1 before Friday; for if the child is not all right we shall have to call it off.
MARY: Of course. If you can't come, we shall not go either. But I hope Tommy will be on his feet again3 by then. I'll look in4 tomorrow, tell Susan, and see how he is.
TOM: Good. I'm sure she'll be glad to see you. Well, I must be getting along. See you soon. Good night.
MARY: Good night.
I: I'll see you to the door, Tom. Do you think it looks like rain?
TOM: No, I don't think so. Anyway, I hope it keeps fine for Saturday night. Good night, Bill.
I: Good night, Tom.
