LUNCH FOR TWO1
Jane and Robert are out shopping. It is almost two o'clock high time to have lunch.

Jane: It's nearly two o'clock and we haven't eaten anything since breakfast. Let's go and have lunch somewhere before we do any more shopping. There's no need for us to starve.2

Robert: That's exactly how I feel.3 There's a small Italian place4 on the other side of the road. Shall we try that?

Jane: Yes, let's (they enter the restaurant). Mmm, it smells good in here.5 It'll be lovely to sit down after our marathon6 this morning.

Robert: There's a table for two in the corner. Sit down, Jane, and I'll take your coat. Have a look at the menu and tell me whether there's anything worth ordering.

Jane: There seem to be six different sauces to have with the spaghetti,7 but they're all in Italian and I don't recognize any of them. Oh, here you are, there's a translation as well.8 You can have spaghetti with mushrooms and chicken, with minced beef, or with lobster sauce. Mmm, I'm going to try that. It smells good in here

Robert: Lobster sauce? That sounds horrible. It's a constant surprise to me,9 what strange things people eat.

Jane: You'll stick to fish and chips10 I suppose, and apple pie and custard?11

Robert: No. Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding12 with brussels sprouts and baked potatoes.

Jane: It's incredible to think that after all the effort I've made13 you're still so conservative about your food.

Robert: There'll be plenty of opportunity for you to poison me after we're married.

Jane: Oh, Robert, it's a pity your sense of humour is so juvenile.

Robert: I'm sorry, darling. Ah, here's the waitress at last, thank goodness.

Waitress: Can I take your order, sir?

Robert: Yes, rather!14 We'll have one spaghetti with lobster sauce and one roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.

Waitress: The roast beef is off, sir.15

Robert: Weell.16 It'll have to be fish, then. There'll be chips with the fish, I suppose, and not spaghetti.

Waitress: Oh certainly, sir, if you wish.

Jane: I hope you've got enough money to pay for the lunch, Robert. All I've got left is sixpence.17

Robert: Oh, it'll be all right. There should be another pound note in my wallet. Here we are.18 Oh! There isn't. We must have spent it.19 There's only six shillings left.

Jane: That's just too bad.20 Now we can only afford spaghetti and chips21 at half a crown.22

Robert: Waitress! I'm afraid we have to change our order. Spaghetti and chips twice,23 please.

Waitress: Very well, sir.

Jane: Isn't that just typical! We start off by ordering lobster and end up with spaghetti and chips.
