Want and Mr. Fielding
A Date for the Theatre
Mike Hello, Jack. Why the rush? Where are you going?
Jack Hello, Mike. I'm on my way to meet Joyce at the station. We're having dinner at a Chinese restaurant and then we're off to the theatre.
Mike Do you often go to the theatre?
Jack Yes, Joyce and I usually go at least once a fortnight; sometimes more. Do you ever go?
Mike Yes, but I don't often find time these days. There are so many other things to do.
Jack True, true.
Mike Listen, perhaps Janet and I can arrange to meet you and Joyce one Saturday evening. We can have dinner together and go on to a theatre.
Jack That's a good idea. Look, I forget the name of the play, but there's a good comedy on at the Theatre Royal next week. If you like, I can book four seats for next Saturday.
Mike All right. I'm meeting Janet later this evening so I can make sure that she's free next Saturday. I'll ring you tomorrow to confirm if we are coming.
Jack Fine. I must fly now. It's six o'clock already and
Joyce's bus arrives at ten past. She hates waiting around and I don't want to spoil everything by up- setting her before we start our evening.
Mike I'll phone you tomorrow then. Give my regards to Joyce. Have a good evening.
A Road Accident
It was raining heavily as I was walking up the hill towards the station at six o'clock on a Saturday morning. At this early hour there wasn't much traffic and there weren't many people in sight. Just as I was crossing the road near the top of the hill, a car came round the corner. It was travelling very fast and the driver was obviously having difficulty in controlling it. Suddenly it swerved violently, skidded on the wet road, hit a lamp-post and turned over.
At once I ran to the car to assist the driver, but he was unconscious and there was a lot of blood on his face, A young woman hurried Into the station and phoned for an ambulance while I took care of the driver. A number of other people gathered round the car, but there wasn't a great deal we could do. A
