THE BROWNS MEET ROBERT SIMPSON

(Door-bell rings)

 

Maggie: That'll be Jane with Robert Simpson. Will you open the door, Jim?

Jim: Right oh!¹

Jane: Hallo Jim, Hallo Maggie, this is Robert Simpson. You've heard me talk about him often enough, so I don't have to introduce him formally, do I?

Maggie: No, you needn't. I feel we know him quite well already. Come and sit down, Robert, and I'll bring in the tea right away².

Robert: It was very nice of you to invite me, Mrs. Brown.

Maggie; Oh, you must call me Maggie, you don't have to be so formal.

Jane: Well, have you two made up your minds³ whether you're going to join us for this trip to Moscow in July?

Jim: I think you can take that as settled⁴. Maggie's been talking about nothing else for the last fortnight. But you must tell us what arrangements we'll have to make.

Robert: I take it⁵ you've both got passports?

Jim: I'm afraid mine has run out⁶. I'll have to apply for a new one right away.

Maggie: What sort of visas do we need?

Jane: Russian visas and transit visas. We ought to make our applications right away, through my agency.

Jim: So you'll take care of all the arrangements⁷, Jane? That suits me fine⁸. Just the kind of holiday I had in mind.⁹

Jane: Just a minute, Jim. Robert needs a co-driver¹⁰, you know. You'll have to get busy ¹¹ and get a driving licence¹².

Jim: Must I? And I was so looking forward to a really lazy holiday.

Maggie: It won't take you long¹³ to get a licence, Jim. After all, you did quite a lot of driving in the army. You ought to be able to do it in a month.

Jim: Shall we have to get international driving licences as well?

Robert: No, we needn't. Most countries recognize foreign licences. But we mustn't forget the international carnet¹⁴ for the car.

Maggie: I seem to be the only one with nothing to do. Isn't there anything I ought to see to¹⁵?

Jane: I've a very good idea, Maggie. You must learn some Polish quickly. One really oughtn't to visit a country without knowing a word¹⁶ of the language.

Maggie: Well, I'll do my best¹⁷. But you mustn't expect mir­acles. I've heard you say that Polish is even more difficult than Russian.

Jane: It is. I wish you the very best of luck¹⁸!
