Characters: Hob, Pedro.

H o b: I say, Pedro, you are a judge of cigarettes, aren't your. Just try one of these and tell me if they are good. (Pedro takes one and begins to smoke it.)

P e d r o: Why do you want to know? I didn't know you were interested in cigarettes, good or bad.

H o b: Oh, it's not for me. You see, it's Uncle Albert's birth­ day next week, and as he likes good cigarette I am going to send him a hundred of these. I can't think of a better present that a hundred cigarette like this. Can you?

P e d r o (having now smoked one of them): Yes. Fifty ciga­ rettes like this.

 

ARE THEY GOOD?

H o b: What do you mean - aren't they good?

P e d r o: Hob, they're terrible. Honestly, I don't remember ever smoking a worse cigarette than that. Where did you get them?

H o b: I saw a notice yesterday in a shop near the place where I live. It said: "The best cigarettes in London, 10/­ a hundred".

P e d r o: If these are their best cigarettes, what are their worst ones like? Look here, Hob. I bought a lot of cigarettes last week. Let me give you a box of them to send to your Uncle

 

UNCLE

ALBERT

Albert. I don't say they are the best ciga­ rettes in London but they are better than these.

H o b: Oh, thanks; that's very good of you. Are your cigarettes very expensive? I mean, do they cost more than 10/-a hun­ dred?

P e d r o: Well, they are not the most ex­ pensive in London but they are rather more expensive than 10/- a hundred.

01a f: I say, does either of you want a ticket for a dance?

A friend sent me two tickets, but I don't want to go.

P e d r o: Why not? Don't you dance? 01a f: I am the world's worst dancer.

H o b: I don't think you can be worse than I am. I was at a dance with a girl once, and I asked her if she knew a worse dancer than me. She didn't say a word, so I asked her again. She said, "I heard you the first time, Hob. I am trying to think of someone who is worse".

01a f: Well, Pedro, what about you? Will you take the tickets?

P e d r o: Thank you very much. I will go if you are quite sure you don't want the tickets.

01a f: Want them! If you can go there for me, you are my best friend.

P e d r o: I wonder if Lucille will go with me; she loves danc­ ing, and I don't suppose she will want to work tomorrow night. H o b: Lucille work! "Ifyour work interferes with your pleas­ ure, give up the work" - that's Lucille's idea of life. Lucille has too much money and too little sense. Now, I've too little money and too much sense. My Uncle Albert says, "Often the

more money you have, the less sense you have".

P e d r o: You are rather hard on Lucille. Do you think she ought to go to fewer dances?

H o b: Yes. She goes to too many dances and too few Eng­ lish lessons. She ought to go to fewer dances and more English lessons.

01a f: And what about you?

HOB: Oh, I'm the most sensible person here - and Lucille is the least sensible. I go to too few dances and to too many English lessons.

01a f: Is Lucille a good dancer?

P e d r o: Oh yes, wonderful. I don't know a better. She is quite the best dancer I know.

01a f: Then you ought to have a very good evening together. P e d r o: Yes, I think so but what are you going to do?

01a f: Oh, perhaps go to the cinema. I finished my home- work this afternoon. Did you finish your homework, Hob?

H o b: Yes, all that I'm going to do.

01a f: Can you come with me, then?

H o b: Certainly. I'm always ready to go to the pictures.

P e d r o: Well, look here. I have two tickets for the new picture at the Plaza Cinema. I don't know what it is like, but here's what the Daily News says about it (reads): "This is the most wonderful and most exciting picture ever made; more laughable than Charley's Aunt, more moving than Limelight; more expensive than Chu Chin Chow, more beautiful than Romeo and Juliet". I don't believe it, but if you want to go, here are the tickets.

01a f: Oh! that's fine. Thank you, Pedro.

H o b: Yes, thanks, Pedro. It reminds me of the first time I went to one of these modem cinemas, soon after I came to England. Uncle Albert took me. It was dark when we went in, but we felt our way to our seats and sat down. After about ten minutes Uncle Albert said to me, "Are you enjoying it?" I said, "Yes, but this sent is very uncomfortable I can't sit on it". He looked and said, "You'll be more comfortable if you tum the seat down".

LESSON 23

"THE CAT THAT CAUSED A WEDDING"

(Practice in the past tense of regular verbs -

And some irregular ones)

H o b: I went to the wedding of my old friend Tom Bailey and Miss Helen Jones last week. I enjoyed it very much. It was a good wedding with lots to eat and drink and there were some bright, lively people there. Tom is a lucky fellow. His wife is a very pretty girl, young and gay and interesting, and clever too. Oh yes, he is a lucky man. And it all happened because of a cat.

J a n: What do you mean? How could a cat cause a wedding? H o b: Yes, it sounds funny, but it is true. It happened like this: - Helen lived in the next house to Tom, and Tom was soon head over heels in love with Helen - and I am not surprised. He used to look at her over the garden wall; he talked to her one day for a short time; he walked to the station with her once or twice; and one evening, one great evening in his life, he went to a Christmas party and danced with her. But Tom isn't much of a talker (he's different from me), and when he was with Helen he seemed to have nothing to say. He want­ ed to say such a lot, but the words just dried up and he could never say anything. Then one day he walked out into the gar­ den and saw Helen on the other side of the wall looking very unhappy and worried. Tom said, "What is the matter?" and

she pointed to the big tree in her garden and answered.

But I won't tell you what she said. Here it is in pictures. I asked a friend - an artist - to draw it for me. His pictures will tell you the story bette: than I can, and you will see how a cat caused wedding.
