Janet asked the theatre booking office for two tickets on Friday evening.
She wanted one for the comedy and one for the opera in the next building.
The assistant checked the times and asked whether she and her husband were planning to go together.
Janet said they had finally reached an agreement….
Janet and her husband, Roy, wanted an evening out.
Roy liked opera. Janet preferred a play where the trouble could be explained without singing for forty minutes.
The arts centre had a comedy in one building and an opera in the other.
Janet checked the starting times.
Both began at seven thirty. Both ended around ten.
She went to the booking office.
One ticket for the comedy, please. And one for the opera.
The assistant asked whether the second ticket was a gift.
No. My husband’s coming with me.
She offered two seats for either performance.
Janet said they had tried that last year. One of them had enjoyed the evening. The other had enjoyed telling everyone about the sacrifice.
The assistant checked the two bookings.
So you’re going out together, but you won’t be in the same audience?
Janet said that was the arrangement.
Will you at least meet during the interval?
Not if he’s explaining the plot.
The assistant asked what they had agreed to share.
The car park.
