I'm leaving Kiev in a couple of days.

В.: Will it be an entertainment trip?
A.: No, I am going on business.
В.: How will you travel, by land or by air?
A.: By train, this time.
A.: Let me know your carriage and compartment numbers, Boris; I'll come to see you off. How will you get to the station? By taxi? Are you taking much luggage?
A.: No, only a suit-case.
* * * * *
A.: It's good that I see you, Boris. I'm going to Warsaw. Are you coming along with me?
В.: With pleasure. I have never visited the city, you know. '
A.: Fine, we can start tomorrow then, if you wish.
В.: That suits me perfectly. And after a week's stay there we can go to Kiev.
A.: That's a good idea.
В.: The trip now is not very long at all.
A.: At what time do we start tomorrow? Have you got a time-table?
В.: Here you are, Ann.
A.: Let's have a look at it; shall we take the express train that leaves at 9.15 a. m.? We shall be in Leningrad at 20 hours that very day.
В.: Oh, it's a fast train. And we arrive in the evening and shall have plenty of time to get rooms in a hotel and afterwards take a look around at some of the principal streets.
A.: It's agreed then. I'll call for you at half-past eight. See that you are quite ready.
В.: Oh, I shall. Good-bye, till tomorrow.
