95. Can you get it please, David?
96. I’m busy, darling. I’ve got to mark my students’ homework.
97. I’m busy too; I’m looking after your baby!
98. She’s your baby, too! Look, I’ll get fired if I don’t correct these essays tonight; the students have been complaining again.
99. Alright. I’ll answer the phone. But you can take the baby!
100. Not on top of the homework! There, there, Sigismonda.
101. Yes? Aiee! Si. Iclarogue si!
102. What’s going on?
103. It’s my father! He’s been kidnapped!
104. What? When?
105. It happened this afternoon. they broke into his office
106. Gee, how terrible, what did they want!
107. I don’t know, money, presumably, of course, mama will give them everything we’ve got, just to get him back.
108. Er! Oh! Is that a good idea?
109. What do you mean? Is it a good idea
110. Well, I just mean, like it would be a real shame, just to give all that money away. It’s just a thought, that’s all
111. I’d better go straight to Mexico with Sigismonda so as to be near Mama
112. I’ll get the first flight tomorrow morning, I’ll start packing now
113. And I suppose I’d better finish marking these damn essays, who is this, then, oh, yes, Melissa.
