IN THE LUNCH HOUR

I usually have lunch at half past one, but yesterday I went to the office without breakfast (I only had a cup of tea) and by twelve o’clock I was already hungry. I don’t like to have lunch alone, so I said to Nick: “Let’s have lunch together”. “All right,” he answered, “I’ll join you in a few minutes”.

When we went to the canteen, there weren’t many people there. We got checks for lunch, sat down at the table near the window, and called the waitress. She brought knives, forks, spoons and plates and took our checks.

“Will you have any soup today?” I asked Nick.

“No. I’m not very hungry,” he said. “But I’ll have some mineral water, salad, meat and potatoes, and ice-cream for the sweet.”

We talked a little, when lunch was over. At twenty five to one we went back to the office. We had a little time before work to read the newspaper. We began work again half an hour later.
