  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.

  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?

  They're both flat. They've been punctured.

  Well, the quickest way is the footpath at the back of the house.

  I think I'll do that then.

  Are you sure you want to get the bus? How will you find Luke's house?

  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.

  Nice to meet you!

  Oh, uh you too. Come in! Would you like some coffee? I've just made some.
