68. THE LUISES’ FLAT

Amy: Whatyou think, Alan? Bob like the Luises’ flat? Can we really recommend it to him?  he   comfortable there?

Alan: I think, he . It’s a nice flat. I’m sure itsuit him.

Amy: But the hallso small and dark and the roomsrather cold in winter.

Alan: Oh, yes. And those fire places, so old-fashioned.

Amy: You’ll freeze there in winter. After a long stay in Africa he’ll frightfully cold there.

Alan: n’t worry, Amy. He won’t freeze, he can use electric fires.

Amy: Electric fires won’t  good enough, I’m afraid. Those rooms quite big you know, Alan.

 

 

Alan: Oh, well. He can have paraffin stoves as well, I suppose.

Amy: And what about the floors in that flat? n’t they in a

rather bad state?

Alan: Oh, whatit matter? Theregood carpets in the rooms. I’m sure the Luises won’t take the carpets to Canada with them.

Amy: Well, perhaps you’re right. Oh, that reminds me. The Luisesonly going to Canada for one year. Bob want to rent a room for one year only?

 

Alan: Why not? I’m sure he won’t stay in England for long. He’ll soon away again, I expect. There’s another thing. I’m afraid, Mr Luismake a lot of fuss about that china and pictures.

Amy: He won’t, but his wife.

Alan: Oh, yes. Shean awful woman. Still, let’s hope Bobmanage her. After all he’s experienced with wild animals in Africa.
