M: I’ve just brought your ladder back, Mrs. Fielding. Thanks for lending it to me. Where shall I leave it?
W: Just lean it against the wall there. How are you settling down in the new house?
M: Oh, fine, thanks. All the neighbours have been very kind. We think we’ll be very happy here.
W: I’m sure you’ll soon feel at home. Use the ladder again any time.
M: Thanks... Er... Do you mind if I borrow one of your drills?
W: There are all my drills. Which one do you want?
M: Any one will do. I only want to drill some holes in the wall to put up some shelves.
W: Well, take the electric one. It bores holes through anything.
M: How does it work? I don’t want to ruin it.
W: It’s child’s play. Anyone can use it. You just plug it in and press this switch; release the switch and it stops again.
M: I’ll need some long screws as well. They’re out of stock at Smith’s hardware stores. Do you know where I can buy some?
W: Try Thorne’s in Paul Street; You can usually find anything you want there... Hang on a minute though; I’ve got lots of screws in that tin there. Help yourself if there is any the right size.
M: That’s very generous of you, Mrs. Fielding. Thank you very much.
W: You’re welcome, Mr. Williams. Always glad to oblige a neighbour.
