Steven finished his food and was looking through his mail.
"Why treat it as if it (to be) a serious problem? Why make such a "fuss about nothing? At "Four Winds" everyone wears just anything."
Opening a, letter he added: "Really, you're a most annoying person, Ruth. What I want to know is, can you go or can't you?"
"I can if you can. You know that."
"I'm not sure yet how busy I'll be tomorrow. I suggest that you (to go down) tomorrow afternoon. George (to pick) you up and (to drive) you down if you (to agree) to go tomorrow. And I'll turn up in the evening, if I can get away, or on Saturday morning at the latest."
"Oh, no," Ruth laid down her knife and fork. "I wish we (to go) together."
"I wish you (to go) ahead."
"I'm not going without you," Ruth said firmly. "But for you they (not to ask) me to come, anyway. They only ask me because I'm your wife. And it looks as if Marion (to hate) me. I wish you (to ring) them up yesterday and told them that I'm coming with you."
