Mary: Nice day, isn’t it?

Paul: Very nice, in fact one of the best of my life. I am very happy.

Mary: Me too darling. Did you like my family?

Paul: Yes really. All your relatives seemed to be very kind. Meeting them was an excellent idea.

Mary: Aunt Jane was wonderful doing the party for us at home. The house was built by my grandfather, isn’t that impressive?

Paul: Well it looked like a Georgian house although its style is not really pure.

Mary: Of course darling. You know how I admire you. You are so clever…

Paul: Your aunt Jane is a lady. However, she doesn’t pay enough attention to the pictures, that in the hall is…

Mary: But it is a Turner darling.

Paul: I know and I can’t approve of it at all in that place.

Mary: I don’t follow you. Last week you said Turner was one of your favourites.

Paul: My favourite dish. How kind of your mother to make it for me.

Mary: I told her and she made it with pleasure. Isn’t she a fantastic cook?

Paul: She is of course. However, I hope you don’t take after her. The kidney pie was good but I am afraid I can’t say the same about the pudding.

Mary: But I loved this pudding. It tasted wonderful.

Paul: Don’t be a child dear! I said several times pudding is not an adequate dessert in this season. My mother always said…

Mary: Please don’t start again about your mother. Oh! What where you doing with my cousin Rachel after lunch? You were in the library for nearly an hour.

Paul: Well, in fact I have been teaching her about writers. She was very interested in the Classics and you know how I…

Mary: Dear Paul, I know that you are a special man, so special that I can’t stand you at all! Goodbye!
