Mary Have you had your holiday for this year yet, Jane? Jane Not yet. I'm taking it at the end of September. Mary Where are you going? Have you made up your mind? Jane Not really. I thought of going to Spain again, but I've already been there twice and I'd like to try somewhere new. Mary My brother's just gone to Mexico for two weeks. I had a card from him yesterday and he seems to be having a good time. Why don't you go there? Jane That's O.K. for you well-off people, but I couldn't possibly afford it. I'm much too hard up at the moment. Mary The air-fare is quite expensive, I admit, but you needn't spend a lot when you get there. Jane I've already spent a lot of money this year. My flat was done up last month, so I haven't got much to spare for expensive holidays abroad. Mary Oh, I see. Jane Perhaps I'll just go to Scotland or Ireland in the end. I've heard they're both very beautiful, and I haven't been to either of them. Mary We went to Ireland two years ago to pay Jill and her husband a visit. They're in Dublin now. Jane Oh, yes, so they are! Mary If you decide on Ireland you can call in on them. Jill would willingly put you up for a few days, I'm sure. Jane That's a good idea! I haven't seen Jill for more than three years now and I'd like to know how she's getting on.
