Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Well, Betty, how was your shopping trip with Susan this afternoon? W: Don't ask me. M: What do you mean? Did something go wrong?

Then she thought I had said the main entrance in the front when I really said the east entrance. M: Well, did you ever get together? W: Yes, but it's a wonder that we did. I had given up waiting and had gone inside to the women's clothing department. She had done the same thing. We met by accident. By that time it was 3 o'clock. M: Did you get what you wanted? I remember you said you wanted to get a sweater. What would the listener say?
