--- Lesson 54 Sticky fingers |

--- First listen and then answer the question. |
| [00:12.960] |
--- What two interruptions did the writer have? |
| [00:19.800] |
After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to the shops. |
| [00:26.960] |
It was still early when I returned home. |
| [00:31.240] |
The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet. |
| [00:37.800] |
So I decided to make some meat pies. |
| [00:42.440] |
In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry. |
| [00:52.360] |
At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. |
| [00:56.880] |
Nothing could have been more annoying. |
| [01:00.440] |
I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Helen Bates. |
| [01:10.800] |
It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. |
| [01:15.640] |
At last I hung up the receiver. |
| [01:18.680] |
What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the doorknobs. |
| [01:27.640] |
I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the doorbell rang loud enough to wake the dead. |
| [01:35.080] |
This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter! |
| [01:43.400] |
