第一周作业：对象感练习1，friends

Sounds demonstration practice homework part 1, to speak to your friends. Quoted from Downton Abbey. Delivered by penguin 27.

Mrs. Patmore, O’ Brien and Barrow are all working as servant in Downton Abbey. It was right after the war. Thomas bought some stocks of food and dreamt of making a fortune from it. He was trying to sell some of them to Mrs. Patmore first as Mrs. Patmore was in charge of the kitchen.


Mrs Patmore: Don’t bother me with it now. I’ve enough on trying to make a luncheon that looks worth eating.

Barrow: But that’s what I’m saying. Everything is in short supply now.

Mrs Patmore: Short supply? No supply, more like. Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. I wish we had a sow’s ear. It’d be better than this brisket.

O’Brien: That’s just It. Thomas has come by some groceries and such and he’s prepared to let them go for the right price.

Mrs Patmore: Oh, he’s prepared to let them go, is he? And how did he come by them? That’s what I’d like to know.

Barrow: Well, they’re not stolen, in case you’re worried.

Mrs Patmore: Oh, I’m not worried. You’re the one who should be worried. Tell you what, I’m making a wedding cake now for Mr Crawley. I’ll finish it early and feed it with brandy. So if I give you a list of ingredients, can you get them?

Barrow: I can.

Mrs Patmore: And then we’ll see. Now, will you leave me and let me get on with this travesty?
