Sorry, I’m late, James. It’s all right, Mary. Where have you been? At the police station. Where? At the police station. I’ve lost my briefcase. Oh, no. What happened? Was there anything important in it? Yes, my chequebook, all the papers I need for work, my appointment book. Oh, that’s terrible! How did you lose your briefcase? Well, as you know, I was with my client at meeting all morning, and we had lunch together. After lunch, I went shopping. And when I wanted to buy something, I couldn’t find my chequebook. Then I remembered that it was in my briefcase. And my briefcase was in my car. So you went back to your car? Yes, I went back to my car. No briefcase. But luckily, my laptop was there. And then you went to the police? Not immediately. Before I went to the police station, I called my client’s office. No luck. He said the briefcase wasn’t there. Excuse me. I’ve got a phone call. Yes? Yes, there is. Mary Hopkins. Oh, really? I'll tell her. It was very kind of you to call. Bye. Who was that? That was the manager of the riverside restaurant. Just after lunch today, he found a briefcase under a table. When he opened the case, he found a lot of papers. He said they had the name of our company on them. And he found a chequebook with the name of Hopkins on it. M. Hopkins, M for Mary. Ah, thank God. |
