The waitress came up to us in a few minutes and asked if we would have coffee, or tea.
“Yes, please. Tea for my friend, and coffee for me,” 1 said.
“Black or white?”
“Black, and some cake, please.”
"How d’you like your tea?’’ she asked my friend.
“Not very strong,” he answered, “and only two lumps of sugar, please.”
We talked a little, when lunch was over, and at twenty- five to one went back to the office. We had a little time before work to read the newspaper and have a smoke.2 We began work again half an hour later.3
