JAN: That is very kind of her. I can't say how much I enjoyed the holiday and how much I am looking forward to the next one.
LUCILLE: It's a funny thing about holidays; no matter how long a holiday we have, I always feel I want a few days more.
HOB: Have you heard about the schoolboy who wanted a few more days' holiday? He phoned to the teacher and said, in a voice, that, he hoped, sounded like his father's:
"I regret to say that Smith is ill in bed and will not be able to return to school for three or four days."
"Oh," said the teacher, "I'm sorry to hear that; who is speaking?"
"My father, sir."
FRIEDA: What did you do at Christmas, Lucille?
LUCILLE: I went to Paris for four or five days-I hadn't been to Paris since last Easter. And then I came back to London.
HOB: 1 went to France once-to Paris.
LUCILLE: Did you? Did you have much trouble with your French when you were there?
HOB: No, /didn't-but the Parisians did!
FRIEDA: What did you do in London, Lucille?
LUCILLE: Oh, I went to the Opera and the theatre, and I went to three or four dances. On Christmas Day I had dinner at London's best (and I'm afraid most expensive) restaurant. 1 hadn't been there for 12 months, not since last Christmas; I probably shan't go again for another 12 months. I had to write home for some more money!
HOB: Once when my money was spent I wrote to my Uncle Albert for some more. To make a good impression I added, "I did not like writing to you-in fact, I ran after the postman to get this letter back."
LUCILLE: And what was his answer?
HOB: He answered: "As you were so anxious to get back your letter asking for money, you will be pleased to know that I did not receive it."
JAN: That's like a friend of mine. He found that all his money was gone, so he sent this telegram to his father:
NO MONEY. NOT FUNNY. SONNY.1 His father answered:
HOW SAD. TOO BAD. DAD.2
FRIEDA: Did you do anything on Christmas Eve?
LUCILLE: Christmas Eve was quite different, but I don't think I enjoyed it less. But what about you, Hob? What did you do? Did you go away?
HOB: No, I didn't go away. I went to stay with my Uncle Albert.
JAN: And did you have a good time?
HOB: Oh, yes; glorious. I stayed in bed till ten o'clock every morning, and breakfast was brought up to me. As for the Christmas dinner,

well, you couldn't see the table for food. There was turkey and roast potatoes, the Christmas pudding and mince pies, apples, oranges, nuts-everything you could want. Then in the evening we had a party and a dance.
FRIEDA: But you told me once that you didn't like dancing.
HOB: I don't-but I like sitting out dances in the refreshment room or on the stairs.
FRIEDA: It's time to go to Mr. Priestley's study. I'm sure he's been waiting for the last five minutes.
