I got home at six in the evening, “Are you tired, Ted?” my wife asked.
“No,” I answered, “but I’m hungry.”
“Dinner will be ready in half an hour.” she said.
“Did you catch your train this morning?” she asked again.
“No, I didn’t. I ran all the way to the station and got there at four minutes past nine.”
“Which train did you catch?” she asked.
“The nine fifteen.”
“What time did you get to the office?”
“At ten o’clock.”
“At ten o’clock?” my wife shouted
“Wasn’t the boss angry?”
“No, he wasn’t at the office.”
I said “He got there at ten thirty. He didn’t catch the train, either.”
