UNIT 4. THE WRONG HOUSE

Well, not a very good evening for Arthur. Now he is at the bus-stop on a cold evening. He is tired, cold and miserable. His hands are cold, his feet are cold and he has a red nose.

Where are Bruce and Mary? Perhaps they are still at the restaurant with a nice hot cup of coffee and some brandy. Their hands and feet are not cold. But, of course, Bruce has some money. His wallet is not empty like Arthur's. He has one or two f5 notes in his pocket.

Perhaps they are in Bruce's car or perhaps ...

But here is Arthur's bus. That's good.

Now Arthur is in the bus, but his hands and feet are still cold. There are only two or three people in the bus with Arthur. There is an old lady with a handbag and a small dog on her knee and there are two men with pipes in their mouths. There are no other people in the bus, only the conductor and the driver, of course.

Now Arthur is at the front.door of his house. Where is his key? Is it in his coat pocket? No, it isn't. Is it in his trousers pocket? No, it isn't there either. This is bad. There are no lights in the house. Mrs Harrison is probably asleep. She is also deaf.
