• Henry:
  Good news?

  Great news! They found my suitcase, and they're bringing it over later today.
• Henry:
  Excellent. Right. I'll take you to my nephew's house so he can fix your computer.
• Jenny:
  I'm looking forward to meeting Luke.
• Henry:
  You'll like him. He's a bright boy, not that I understand a word he says.
• Jenny:
  I'll bet he doesn't know much about Greek mythology either.
• Henry:
  You're probably right.

• Henry:
  That's funny.
• Jenny:
  What's wrong?
• Henry:
  The tire's flat!
• Jenny:
  Oh, do you have a spare?
• Henry:
  Well yes. It shouldn't be flat. It's new. I don't believe it.
• Jenny:
  What is it?
• Henry:
  They're both flat. They've been punctured.

  What? Somebody did that on purpose? In the English countryside?

  You get vandals everywhere these days.

  I'll call you a taxi.

  Isn't there a bus I could catch?

  Well, there's a bus stop on the main road. You could get the bus to Oxford from there, I suppose.
• Jenny:
  How do I get to the bus stop?
• Henry:
  Well, the quickest way is the footpath at the back of the house.
• Jenny:
  I think I'll do that then.
• Henry:
  Are you sure you want to get the bus? How will you find Luke's house?
• Jenny:
  You gave me the address. I can look it up on my phone if I get lost.

  Oh and I'd like to cook dinner this evening to thank you for having me.

  You don't need to do that.
• Jenny:
  I want to.
• Henry:
  Well, if you're sure. What time?

  How about seven o'clock?
• Henry:
  Great. And I'll keep my phone on in case you need me.
• Jenny:
  See you later, Henry.

• Jenny:
  Luke!
• Luke:
  You must be Jenny. Hi.
• Jenny:
  Nice to meet you!
• Luke:
  Oh, uh you too. Come in! Would you like some coffee? I've just made some.
• Jenny:
  I'd love to, but I'm running a bit late. I'm really sorry, but could I just leave the computer here with you?
• Luke:
  Yeah, no problem.

  That's great.
