1. Come in.
2. Those TV people have gone now. Have they, Mr. Carter!
3. That’s right.
4. How did the interview go, then?
5. It went alright, although I didn’t think much of that young lady.
6. One of these clever-clever college types, you know.
7. Oh well, never mind. I’ve brought you a cup of tea.
8. Thanks, that’s just I needed.
9. And I brought you this newspaper article too. I thought you will be interested.
10. “As the demonstration at the Plastic Box factory moves into its 20th week,
11. the Plastic Box Environmental Action Group is holding a meeting this evening at 7:30 on Plastic Box: enemy of the planet.
12. The principal speaker at the meeting will be Annie Peters of Greenwar.”
13. Annie Peters, indeed! Well , well, well! I think we should keep an eye on her, don’t you?
14. If you think so, sir.
15. I think I’ll send someone down to the meeting; they could even bring Miss Peters back here for a little chat.
16. That’s a good idea, sir.
17. Yes, one can’t be too careful. Well, that’s all for now, Edith. Before you go, could you get my wife for me please?
