[Q]: W: It's right there in the cupboard with your other ties. M: There's a green one and a couple of brown ones, but no red one. W: Here it is in your drawer. You must have put it there when you brought it home. M: I suppose so. We'd better hurry up or we're going to be late. The Smiths said to come at 7:00. W: Oh, it's 6:24 now. Sue isn't here to take care of the children yet. M: She shall be here at 6:40. That still gives us time to get there. W: Who else is coming tonight? M: The Browns and the Franks. And Mrs. Johnson's sister will be there too. W: Well. I think we'd better go down. Sue should be here pretty soon. What was said before this conversation?
