At the station

We see three men at the railway station. They ⁽¹⁾ (to speak) to a porter. "What time ⁽²⁾ (to be) the next train for London?" one of them⁽³⁾ (to ask). "They⁽⁴⁾ (to go) every hour. The next train⁽⁵⁾ (to be) at ten o'clock," the porter ⁽⁶⁾ (to say). "That's all right," they ⁽⁷⁾ (to say). "Let's go to the refreshment room and wait for the train there."

At two minutes past ten the three men ⁽⁸⁾ (to run) out of the refreshment room and ⁽⁹⁾ (to ask) the porter, "Has the train gone?» — "Yes, it has," the porter ⁽¹⁰⁾ (to say). "The next train ^(I1) (to be) at eleven o'clock." "That⁽¹²⁾ (to be) all right," the three men⁽¹³⁾ (to say). "Let's go to the refreshment room and have a drink there."

At two minutes past eleven the three men again⁽¹⁴⁾ (to run) out of the refreshment room but the eleven o'clock train has already gone. "The next train ⁽¹⁵⁾ (to be) at twelve o'clock. It ⁽¹⁶⁾ (to be) the last train for London," the porter ⁽¹⁷⁾ (to say).

At twelve o'clock we again ⁽¹⁸⁾ (to see) the three men running out of the refreshment room. Two of them have got into a carriage but the third man hasn’t into the train. He ⁽¹⁹⁾ (to stand) at the platform and ⁽²⁰⁾ (to laugh). "Why you ⁽²¹⁾ (to laugh)?" the porter⁽²²⁾ (to ask). —"Because those men have come to see me off," the man ⁽²³⁾ (to say).

Do you think the two men in the carriage felt like laughing?
