Jane: Awfully nice. I have never tasted such a lovely salad; will you tell me how you make it?
Ann: I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it and it’s very nice of you to say so. It is quite easy to make. I’ll write down the ingredients and the directions for mixing.
Jane: Thank you very much. Don’t you think it’s lovely, Fred?
Fred: Yes, it is, indeed. Kindly pass me the salt, Ann, will you?
Ann: Here you are. Some more bread, Fred?
Fred: Yes, please. What comes next, Annie?
Ann: Chops with roast potatoes and vegetables.
Fred: And what follows that?
Ann: Wouldn’t you like to make a guess?
Fred: Ice-cream, I suppose.
Ann: There you are wrong, Fred, it’s coffee.
Jane: Coffee? It’s just to my taste.
