Conversation
Sally: Oh, Peter, I’ve been standing here since half past seven! Where on earth have you been?
Peter: I’m terribly sorry I’m late, Sally, but I just couldn’t help it. I got here as soon as I could.
Sally: Well, it’s not soon enough, is it? It’s too late to go in now, the play has already started!
Peter: I know … and I’m sorry but … .
Sally: I’ve been looking forward to seeing the play all week! Do you realize that? All week!
Peter: Look, Sally, just give me a chance to explain, please! I was about to leave the house when my sister called round. She was in tears. Her boy-friend John had been knocked down and was critically ill. So I couldn’t just rush off without a word, could I?
Sally: Oh, I see.
Peter: I am sorry about the play – really I am. I know how much you wanted to see it.
Sally: Yes – well, never mind. We can always see it some other time.
Peter: Yes, of course we can.
Sally: And Peter?
Peter: Yes?
Sally: I am sorry for the way I snapped at you.
Peter: Oh, that’s all right. I understand.
