W: Hi Paul. I’mso sorry, but I can’t pick you up from work this afternoon. I’ve just learnedthat I’m working outside the city today and I’ll get back just in time to pick up Toby from his after-school clubbefore they close at 5:00.

M: OK. I’m notvery happy to hear that, but never mind.I’ll take a taxi again.

W: Wait. Wait.Don’t get upset. After I pick up Toby, I’ll drive him straight to his guitar lesson. The music school is on the samesubway line as your office, just two stops away. So you could take the subwayand meet me in the café opposite the music school. We’ll wait for Toby thereand then I’ll drive us all home together.

M: Darling,that’s a great idea. I’ll be there. It’s not too far so I’ll walk.
