ROBERT AND JANE ARE GOING TO
THE THEATRE
Jane and her
boyfriend Robert have arranged to meet in the foyer of a theatre. Jane is late,
as usual.
Robert: Oh, 1there
you are, at last, Jane.
Jane: Hallo, Robert, 2I'm sorry I kept you waiting. It hasn't started yet,
has it?
Robert: No, but we were going to have a meal beforehand, and now it's
too late for that. 3Where
on earth have you been?
I'm sorry I kept
you waiting
Jane: Oh, Robert, I simply must tell you about something awful that
happened to me. 4The
bus I was in ran over a woman.
Robert: Was she badly hurt?
Jane: She fainted, but I think it was mainly shock. Luckily the driver
managed to brake pretty quickly.
Robert: How did it happen?
Jane: She wasn't looking where she was going. She saw a friend it seems,
and just dashed out into the middle of the road. The bus stopped so suddenly
that some of the passengers 5got bruised quite badly.
Robert: Were you hurt, Jane?
Jane: 6I
just got a slight cut on one hand. It's nothing. I was sitting right in
front and saw it all. She didn't look round, you know, just waved to her friend
and then ran straight across the road.
Robert: How stupid!
Jane: A car 7just
managed to avoid her, but 8the bus driver didn't see her until she was almost
under his wheels. It's lucky - 9she got away with no more than a few bruises and shock.
Robert: Were you asked to be a witness?
Jane: Yes, I had 10to make a long statement and leave my name and address with the
police sergeant. Perhaps they'll ask me 11to appear in court.
Robert: Where did all this happen, Jane?
Jane: In 12Ruislip,
near the station.
Robert: But what were you doing in Ruislip this evening?
Jane: It wasn't this evening. It was yesterday. I went to see my cousin
there, on her birthday.
Robert: Yesterday? All this happened yesterday? Then why are you so late
now?
Jane: But I'm not so late, am I? Only about ten minutes.
Robert: Ten minutes! 13More like half an hour! And I was just beginning to feel sorry for you. Come along now, or there'll be another accident. A serious one 14this time.
