| Mum | Hello, Mike. Did you enjoy the weekend in Pairs? |
| Mike | Yes, it was great, Mum. Look, I've brought you back some wine, and here are some cigarettes for Dad. |
| Mum | Thank you, dear. That's lovely. But you needn't have gone to that expense. |
| Mike | Well, I don't often buy you presents, but I don't often go to Paris either. |
| Mum | Tell me about it. What did you do with yourself? |
| Mike | Well, we had quite a good flight, and we got to the hotel at about seven o'clock. We had a super dinner, and then dive, Tim and I went to a night-club. |
| Mum | Didn't anyone else go with you? |
| Mike | No, no one else wanted to come. All the others were too tired. Then on Saturday morning we did some shopping, and of course we watched the international rugby match in the afternoon. The match was drawn, but England were lucky not to lose. |
| Mum | Where else did you go? Didn't you look round the Louvre? |
| Mike | Yes, but it was a lightning visit. And we went up the Eiffel Tower too, of course. But we didn't have time for much else. We were told we were not to be late for check-in at the airport and we had to rush like mad. When we got there, though, we found we needn't have hurried because take-off had been delayed for an hour. |
| Mum | What else did you buy then? |
| Mike | Let me see.... A few souvenirs, some postcards, a bottle of perfume for Janet..... Nothing much else because I ran out of money. By the way, can you lend me a couple of pounds until next week, Mum? |
| Mum | So that's the price of my French wine. Is It? |
