F: Hello, George. I wanted to speak to you yesterday, but you weren't at your usual place for lunch. ,M: No, I had a free day from the newspaper office, because I worked so much overtime last week. ,F: Oh, I see. You had a holiday. ,M: Well, I stayed at home and looked after the baby. ,F: What? You took care of the baby? Whose baby? ,M: Oh, it was my sister's baby. She wanted to go shopping in the morning, so I stayed at home and did a lot of useful things. ,F: Oh? ,M: Yes, I mended my radio, washed a shirt and some socks and cleaned out the drawers of my desk. ,F: I don't call that a holiday. I wanted to ask you to a concert last night. The one at the town hall near where we lived. ,M: That's funny. My officer called me in the afternoon and asked me to go and write an article about the concert. I notice that you weren't there, but your friend Mary was.
