Mr. Williams | I've just brought your ladder back, Mr. Fielding. "hanks for lending it to me. Where shall I leave it? |
Mr. Fielding | Just lean it against the wall there. How are you settling down in the new house? |
Mr. Williams | Oh, fine, thanks. All the neighbours have been very kind. We think we'll be very happy here. |
Mr. Fielding | I'm sure you'll soon feel at home. Use the ladder again any time. |
Mr. Williams | Thanks... Er... Do you mind if I borrow one of your drills? |
Mr. Fielding | There are all my drills. Which one do you want? |
Mr. Williams | Any one will do. I only want to drill some holes in the wall to put up some shelves. |
Mr. Fielding | Well, take the electric one. It bores holes through anything. |
Mr. Williams | How does it work? I don't want to ruin it. |
Mr. Fielding | It's child's play. Anyone can use it. You just plug it in and press this switch; release the switch and it stops again. |
Mr. Williams | I'll need some long screws as well. They're out of stock at Smith's hardware stores. Do you know where I can buy some? |
Mr. Fielding | Try Thorne's in Paul Street; you can usually find anything you want there... Hang on a minute though; I've got lots of screws in that tin there. Help yourself if there are any the right size. |
Mr. Williams | That's very generous of you, Mr. Fielding. Thank you very much. |
Mr. Fielding | You're welcome, Mr. Williams. Always glad to oblige a neighbour. |
