A few Errands
Felix I'm just going down to the shops to buy some cigarettes, Gertie. Do you want anything while I'm there?
Gertie Yes, what a good idea! There are a lot of things I need, as a matter of fact. Let me see... We haven't got many eggs left, so bring a dozen large ones. And there isn't much cooking-fat in the Jar, so bring a pound of lard. And...
Felix Hold on! If you want me to get a lot of things, write them down on a piece of paper, or I'll forget something.
Gertie All right. But wait a minute, while I look in the other cupboard to see what we need.
Felix Hurry up, then! I want to call in for a chat with Gerry on the way back.
Gertie We've got plenty of cocoa, but we've nearly run out of coffee and there isn't a great deal of tea left; bring a large tin of instant and a quarter pound of tea. Oh! And I want some ham.
Felix How much?
Gertie Half a pound will do. We're short of vegetables, too; bring some beans, and a tin of carrots...
Felix I only wanted to go out for a stroll and a chat. I'll need a lorry to bring all that home.
Gertie Here's the list. Oh, and you can pick up my coat at the dry-cleaner's while you're passing. And do me a favour while you're at Gerry's: ask Pam if she's free on Thursday morning. We're having a meeting at ten o'clock about the tennis-club dance in August.
Felix Do you mind if I have half an hour to myself after I've done all your business for you?
