Mrs. Green Mike |
Of course, I shall need a week or so to clear the room out and to do it up. That`s all right. Mrs. Green, my friend is putting me up at the moment. But I`ll make a cheque out for four weeks` rent in advance. Well, before I hand the key over, I hope you don`t get in too late at night. If I do, I`ll remember to pull the front door to, take my shoes off and put the lights out before going upstairs. After eleven-thirty you`ll have to let yourself in, and remember to make your bed in the morning. You can use the telephone and ring your friends up from here. Baths are included in the rent. Good. I`ll take a bath in the morning or in the evening. Can I have my friends up? I don`t mind, but you`ll have to turn them out by evening. And I`m glad that I can fix you up. That`s fine by me, Mrs. Green. I`m glad we`ve been able to talk things over. |
