Q: Dialogue: M: Do you still see the people we went to school with? W: I did for a while, I suppose, until I left university, but after that not really. M: Yeah, I've lost touch with most people as well, but I still see Pat occasionally. W: Oh, yes, how's she getting on? M: Okay. I suppose but she's had a rough time in the last few years. She got divorced. W: What, from Peter? M: Oh, of course. You knew him, didn't you? W: They seemed very close. What happened? M: Yes, they were. Oh, it was all fine until they decided to have children. I think she basically didn't want them, but he did. Well, she had two girls, one after the other, and that meant she had to give up work. W: Didn't she like being at home? M: I think she liked working better, but she felt she should be at home with the children. W: So what happened? M: It all happened very quickly. She rang me one day to say that Peter had left home. He had a new girlfriend. It was strange because he seemed so devoted to his children. They got divorced in a few months and he was married three days later. W: Did He take the children? M: No, that was the amazing thing. He seemed to have lost interest in all of them.

Q: Dialogue: W: Can I help you? M: Yes, I'd like to read some articles that are on reserve in the library for anthropology 311. W: Professor Gilers's class? M: That's right. How could you know? W: Let's just say you are not the first person. M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven't read any of them yet, it doesn't really matter which one of them you give me first. W: I'm afraid I can't give you any of them at the moment. They've all been checked out. M: You're kidding all of them? W: I've asked professor Gilers twice already to bring in additional copies of the articles, but no sooner do I place them on the shelves than they are gone. See that girl in the black sweater? She's been waiting for half an hour for these same articles to be returned. M: And here I went out of my way to free the whole afternoon to read.
