Page 6 - Exercise 1B

It’s 1.30 pm. Sweet Sue usually has lunch in her office at this time, but she isn’t having lunch today. She’s putting on her coat and she’s talking to Lord Riley on her mobile.

Sweet Sue, someone stole my wife’s diamonds this morning. Can you help? Yes, of course. I’m leaving my office now.

What are you doing? We’re painting a sign on this door. Someone’s moving into this office.

Hello, Lord Riley, I, Who’s that man? And why is he climbing a tree? Is he looking for the jewels? Yes, he is. I’m sorry, Sweet Sue. That’s Smart Alec. He’s another private detective. My wife phoned him.

Here’s your diamond necklace, Lady Riley, and there’s your thief! Oh, yes. It’s that bird. It’s flying out of the window with my ring now! Well, you don’t need me, so I’m going for lunch. Goodbye.

Later. It’s that man again! Where’s he going? Excuse me. Are you following me? No, I’m not. I’m going to my new office. You can’t do that. It’s next door to my office. I’m the private detective in this town!
