| Mrs. Jones | Oh, look! It's snowing, Mrs. Smith! |
| Mrs. Smith | So it is! I can't remember when it last snowed. |
| Mrs. Jones | It snowed in April two years ago. It was Easter week; I remember it well. |
| Mrs. Smith | Oh yes! So it did. It must have been the second week in April - my sister from Scotland was here at the time. |
| Mrs. Jones | What about the fire at the Williams's house last Saturday! Did you see it? |
| Mrs. Smith | Yes. Terrible, wasn't it? The fire-engine woke me up at about three in the morning. They were lucky the whole house didn't burn down. Their living- room was in an awful mess next morning. |
| Mrs. Jones | Well, it serves them right. They were throwing another of those wild parties, weren't they? They must have been blind drunk; they should have been more careful. |
| Mrs. Smith | You know, I think they may have set fire to the place on purpose - just to claim new furniture and carpets from the insurance company. |
| Mrs. Jones | I wouldn't be surprised at anything they did. I've always been suspicious of them, and the longer I know them the more I dislike them. I'm glad I didn't go to their party. |
| Mrs. Smith | Why didn't you go, Mrs. Jones? |
| Mrs. Jones | Well we weren't invited actually, but I had to go to my sister's that evening anyway. |
| Mrs. Smith | We weren't invited either. I suspect that the longer they live here the less they like us too, Mrs. Jones. |
