Dialogue C
Mrs. Smith: How nice of you, Mrs. Brown, to drop in. I’m so glad to see you. Jane and I are just having a cup of tea. Do join us.
Mrs. Brown: Thank you ever so much. I’ve been doing some shopping, as you can see, and I am a bit thirsty. I’d enjoy a cup with you.
Mrs. Smith: Jane, lay the table for Mrs. Brown and bring some fresh buns and rolls from the pantry. I haven’t any cake to offer you today, Mrs. Brown, but I can treat you to a wide choice of jams, I’ve made
this year. I’m especially fond of strawberry and black currant, while Jane prefers cherry. We always have several jars of raspberry jam in the house in case of colds. It’s a good remedy, you know. Strong tea or weak, Mrs. Brown?
Mrs. Brown: Weak tea, please. What tasty buns you have here! Are they from the baker’s?
Mrs. Smith: Jane did the baking today. She rather likes cooking.
Mrs. Brown: Would you mind telling me how to make such buns?
Mrs. Smith: Most willingly. All you need is a few cups of flour, some shortening (fat), a little yeast, four egg-yolks, a glass of milk and sugar. You knead the dough stiff, and then cut it up into tiny buns. When the dough has risen, you bake the buns in a hot oven for 20-25minutes. It’s rather quick work and not much trouble. Served with tea, they are delicious. Help yourself to some more, Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. Brown: They’re simply wonderful with strawberry jam. I must have another.
Mrs. Smith: Won’t you have another cup of tea?
Mrs. Brown: I’ve had quite enough, thank you.
