Inviting for a cup of coffee by phone

***

Mrs Roberts: Hello, Mrs Roberts speaking.

Mrs White: Is that you Mary? This is Helen White. I’ve tried to ring

you several times but you were always out or engaged.

How are you?

Mrs Roberts: Oh, I’m fine, thank you. And how are you?

Mrs White: I’m fine too, now. But I’ve been laid up with flu for over

a week.

Mrs Roberts: I’m sorry to hear that. How are you feeling now?

Mrs White: Fit as a fiddle, I’m pleased to say. How about coming

round some time next week? Could you manage

Wednesday next week at about 9 for coffee?

Mrs Roberts: Well, as far as I know we’re free that evening but

I must check with Henry and then let you know.

Thank you.

Mrs White: Then it’s settled. You’ll ask Henry and give me a ring

about Wednesday week. We’ll be looking forward to

seeing you. Good- bye.

Mrs Roberts: Good-bye, Helen, and thanks so much for ringing.
