Waiting for Templetons
Tessa: What time did you tell Templetons to get here, Martin?
Martin: Any time between 10 and 12.
Tessa: But it's after two! They're terribly late!
Martin: Why didn't you contact United Transport as I told you?
Tessa: Peter Thompson said that Templetons were better.
Martin: Tessa! Peter Thompson's a director of Templetons. Oh! blast it! I've torn my trousers on the radiator.
Tessa: Oh Martin, do take care! ... Hadn't we better telephone?
Martin: I've tried. The telephone's not connected yet.
Tessa: And the water's still cut off. We can't just wait here all afternoon in an empty flat with no water and no telephone.
Martin: How uninviting an empty flat is.
Tessa: And it seems tiny, too, now, doesn't it?
Martin: I'm tempted to take a taxi straight into town and stay the night in a hotel.
Tessa: How extravagant! But what a delightful thought!
