Шрифт:
G. I just wonder what could have happened to my watch. It was such a good time-keeper.
T. Perhaps it needs winding up?
G. Think so? Well, it might be. I can’t quite recollect whether I wound it up this morning.
T. Well?
G. No, it doesn’t seem to be run down. There’s something wrong with it, after all.
T. Well, let’s drop in at a watchmaker’s. There’s one at the comer of N. and M. Streets.
G. Do you think we have time?
T. Why, yes! It won’t take him long to “diagnose the case.”
G. I hate taking my watch to the watchmaker, but nothing can be done, I suppose.
T. Why don’t you like to deal with watchmaker’s?
G. Well, it might be a kind of prejudice but I can’t help feeling that my favourite watch will never keep good time any more.
T. Nonsense! Get it out of your head. Well, here we are.
G. Good afternoon, sir.
WATCH
MAKER. Good afternoon, gentlemen. What can I do for you?
G. I would like you to have a look at my watch. There’s something wrong with it.
W. Let me see it, please.
G. Yes. What a nuisance these straps are. Here it is, please.
W. Nothing much the matter with it. Needs cleaning, that’s all.
G. Yes? How long will it take to have it cleaned?
W. Well, a couple of days, I suppose. Will you leave it?
G. I think I will.
W. Your name, please.
G. Hamilton. George Hamilton.
W. {giving the receipt). Here you are, sir.
G. Thank you. Goodbye.
