The Present Perfect Tense (1)
LUCILLE: Mr. Priestley has a lot of books in his study, hasn't he?
PEDRO: Yes, and what is more, he has read them all. When I talk to him about books I feel that he has read every book that I have ever heard of.
FRIEDA: Here are some modem English books. Have you read any of them, Lucille?
LUCILLE: No, I don't think I have. I have read the books that most students read in their school days, you know, some of Dickens and Scott and Thackeray, a few plays of Shakespeare, some poems of Byron, stories by Wide, but I have not read much since I left school. You have read a good many modem English books, haven't you, Pedro?
PEDRO: Yes, I'm fond of English writers and have read quite a lot.
FRIEDA: Who are the well-known writers?
PEDRO: Oh, there's Galsworthy and Wells and Bennett and Kipling and D.H. Lawrence, Aldous Huxley and Virginia Woolf; as poets, T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden.
LUCILLE: I have never heard of them. Are they very well known?
PEDRO: Quite well known, but if you want the really well known ones, there are J.B. Priestley and Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene.
FRIEDA: I have read Priestley's Good Companions. I know Somerset Maugham's short stories, but I haven't heard of Graham Greene. What has he written?
PEDRO: He made his name with The Power and the Glory. After that he wrote The Heart of the Matter. Read them both if you can get them. They are interesting books.
FRIEDA: Uncle John generally asks me what I want for a Christmas present. If he does this year, I can ask him for one of them.
HOB and JAN enter
HOB: Or both!
LUCILLE: Hello! are you here?
HOB: Yes. You were talking about books for Christmas presents, weren't you? Have you heard the stoiy of the two girls who wanted to give a Christmas present to a friend but didn't know what to send? One said, "Let's give her a clock."
