‘Baker and Parsons.’
‘Hello. Could I speak to Margaret Rowntree, please?’
‘One moment. Trying to connect you... I’m sorry, her line’s busy. Can you hold?’
‘No, I’ll ring again in a minute, thanks. Goodbye.’
‘Goodbye.’
‘Baker and Parsons.’
‘Hello. Could I speak to Margaret Rowntree, please?’
‘Do you know her extension?’
‘356, I think.’
‘Ringing for you.’
‘Hello. Robert Carter.’
‘Hello. Could I speak to Margaret Rowntree?’
‘I’m sorry. You’ve got the wrong extension. I’ll see if I can transfer you. Just a moment.’
‘Hello – post room.’
‘I’m sorry. I’ve got the wrong extension. Damn!’
‘Hello.’
‘Hello, is that Baker and Parsons?’
‘Er, no, dear. I’m afraid not.’
‘I’m sorry. I’ve got the wrong number.’
‘it doesn’t matter, dear. You’ve got a lovely voice. What’s your name?’
‘Damn and blast!’
‘Baker and Parsons.’
‘Hello. Could I speak to Margaret Rowntree, please?’
‘Her number’s ringing for you.’
‘Hello.’
‘Is that Margaret?’
‘Speaking.’
‘Oh, thank God. At last. Hello, Margaret. This is Stuart. I’ve had terrible trouble getting through to you. How are you?’
... Margaret? Margaret??? Oh, no! Bloody hell!’
‘Baker and Parsons.’
‘Hello. Could you put me through to Margaret Rowntree again? We got cut off.’
‘Ringing for you.’
‘Margaret Rowntree.’
‘Hello again, Margaret. We got cut off. I was ringing to ask if you’d like to have lunch with me.’
‘What?’
‘I wondered if you’d like to have lunch with me.’
‘If I’d like to what?’
‘Have lunch.’
‘Stuart, this is a very bad line. I’ll ring you back, OK?’
‘OK’
‘Woodside 8432.’
‘Hello again, Stuart. What can I do for you?’
‘Are you free for lunch today?’
‘Yes, I think so. What time?’
‘One o’clock?’
‘OK. Where?’
‘Lacy’s, in Marston Street. Do you know there it is?’
‘No.’
‘Well, you take a 47 bus from the office, get off at Grange Square, cross the road, turn left, take the first on your right, and Lacy’s is a few yards down the road on your left, opposite a church. You can’t miss it.’
‘But I won’t be coming from the office. I’ve got a meeting at the town hall; I’ll be coming straight from there.’
‘OK. Then get a number 17, get off in front of the cathedral, walk through the park, then go along the canal to the right and over the first bridge, and you’ll come out opposite Marston Street. Lacy’s is down at the other end on the right. You can’t miss it.’
‘No, I bet. Did you say one o’clock?’
‘Yes. Is that OK?’
‘No, on second thoughts, can we make it a bit earlier? Say a quarter to?’
‘Quarter to one, OK.’
‘All right. See you then. Macy’s, in Caxton Street, right?’
‘No!’
‘Bye.’
‘Margaret! Margaret!... Bloody hell!’
‘Hello.’
‘Is that Baker and Parsons?’
‘Hello again, dear. How sweet of you to ring back. What is your name? My name is Sandra.’
‘Aaaaaaaargh!’
