At a Disco Party

Mary and David joined the company of David’s fellow-students at a disco dancing hall. Mary knows some of his friends and David wants to introduce her to others. Several couples are dancing.

David: Mary, look at that couple dancing in the middle of the hall. He is my friend Jake with his girl-friend Carol.

Mary: Do you mean that short, sturdy, red-haired young man in a yellow T-shirt with that slim brunette in a pink dress?

D: Oh, yes. Aren't they a nice couple?

M: They are. But he is too short for her and I'd advise him to lose weight.

D: Stop criticizing my friend, Mary. It's just your first impression. When people get to know him closer, they never think of his height. And Carol loves him be­cause he is smart, energetic and always cheerful. He knows so many funny sto­ries and anecdotes.

M: I see your point. Sorry, if I've hurt your feelings by my remarks. And who is that girl, standing by the window in a black jacket and high-heeled black shoes? She looks very stylish.

D: You mean that tall slim girl with luxuriant blond hair? She is Stella. Today she is alone. As far as I know she broke off her relationship with Tony Bradford. But my dear, we've come here not only to look at the people, but to dance, too.

M: But you wanted to introduce me to your friends.

D: Sure, one of them is just coming in.

M: Who?

D: My good friend, Nick Richardson.

M: That spare ruddy man?

D: Not spare, but slim, not ruddy, but with a healthy complexion. He is the clev­erest student at our college, by the way.

M: Fine, introduce me to your star. Is he alone today?

D: I think so. Hi, Nick. Here is my wife, Mary.

M: Nice to meet you, Nick.

Nick: Glad to meet you, Mary. I've heard a lot about you from David, but you're even more beautiful than he has described.

D: Are you going to dance?

N: Not now, a bit later, if Maggie comes. I'd like to chat to Mike, he has some problems with money as he has recently bought a new car and I wonder if I can help him. I know a job where he could make some money and pay his debt.

M: Where is Mike?

D: Over there, talking to a plump girl with hazel eyes and chestnut hair.

M: In a shocking green mini-skirt?

D: Not so shocking, my dear. Tastes differ, you know. Look at Mike! He is wear­ing a white jumper and light pants.

M: I see, they are a perfect match. He also wants to look extraordinary, doesn't he?

D: My dear, you are so old-fashioned. They are simply modern people and have their own point of view on everything.
