«I say , what are you and your sister going to do for your holiday this year?»
«Well, I don’t know. I should like to take my sister for a tour to the Baltic Sea, but then she can’t very well leave her children. What are you doing?»
«We shall go to the sea, I expect - for part of the time, anyhow . Then my wife and I may go off alone for a week or so in the car.»
«Leaving the rest of the family behind, I suppose!»
«Oh yes. They’ll be quite safe with their grandmother - and, besides, they’re ever so much happier playing about on the sands than spending long days in the car.»
«Where do you go, as a rule?»
«We’ve tried many seaside-places on the eas and south coasts: on the whole, I think we prefer the south. However, it really doesn’t seem to matter very much, as long as the youngsters get a good sandy beach.»
«What do you do? Take rooms, or stay at a hotel, or what?»
«We’ve done both, and this year we are taking a furnished house. Why don’t you make up your mind to join us? Find a house near by, and make a large party. It’ll be great fun.»
«For my own part, I should love it. I’ll take it over with my sister, and see what she thinks about it.»
