– It’s Hall, isn’t it?
– Hall? Ah! Did someone tell me he lived in Hampshire?
– He lives in Winchester, doesn’t he?
– And he’s a craftsman, I’m told. D’you know what he makes?
– He makes violins, doesn’t he?
– Is that it? Has he any sons and daughters?
– He’s got two sons, hasn’t he?
– Well you seem to know quite a bit about him. You don’t happen to know what his sons do, by any chance.
– They make violins too, don’t they?
– Guess who I had a letter from this morning!
– Oh, so he’s still writing to you, is he?
– Oh, it was nothing serious, Alan. Hey, when shall we go and see about our passports?
– Let’s go this afternoon, shall we?
– What a terrible noise, that music on the wireless!
– I’ll turn it off, shall I?
– I enjoyed that, Alan. Did you?
– Yes, very much. But the fellow that wrote that second piece – I’ve never heard of him before. Have you?
– Well, I’ve heard of him, but that’s all. I’m hungry. Are you?
– Starving.
– You look well, Jo!
– *Provide a proper answer showing your surprise.
– Well, you looked a bit tired when I last was you.
– …
– I thought so, anyway. Oh, by the way, there’s an exhibition at the Town Hall.
– …
– Mmm. A model engineering exhibition. There was one last year, actually.
– …
– This is going to be the last one, apparently.
– …
– So they say. They’re not having one next year.
– …
– Of course. I’m very sorry about it.
– …
– There’s always a lot of money in the office safe, of course.
– Is there?
– And we have quite a lot of visitors, as well…
– Do you?
– Oh, yes, we do. And one of the typists has a boy-friend in a dynamite factory.
– Has she?
– Now, I don’t suppose anyone here’s been to Ordunia, but…
– I have.
– Really? I hope you enjoyed it. Nobody here can speak Ordunian, I imagine?
– I can.
– Ah, well, that’ll be very useful. Now, the Prime Minister, whom I’m sure you don’t know, will be…
– I do.
– In that case we can probably offer you a very good job in our organization. By the way – everybody here can swim, I assume?

– I don’t.
