Access to English - Getting on - 16 - An arrest is made (text)

2013.03.07. 12:16 aforizmágus

That evening an article appeared in the evening paper.

Have you seen this man? - The police are anxious to interview bruce Fanshawe, a Middleford car salesman. He has been living in Middleford for three years and during the past two years he has been working at the Middleford Used car mart. The police believe that he would be able to help them in their enquiries into the recent robbery at the Westland bank. If anybody has seen this man, would they please contact the Middleford police (Telephone 026 307 8097) or any police station?

For the next few weeks Arthur saw mary quite a lot - not only in the library but also in the evenings and at weekends. Mary was trying to forget all about Bruce but of course this was difficult for her. She had been thinking quite a lot about him. She had been impressed by his money, his sports-car and his generosity, but she hadn't realized what sort of man he really was or what he had been doing when he wasn't with her. He had actually been robbing banks and mixing with other criminals. She thought she had been behaving like an idiot. And none of her family had ever liked Bruce.

Arthur was very sorry that Mary was so miserable but he was glad, of course, that the engagement was over.

One evening about three weeks after the drama at the police station, Arthur had been studying at the Technical College. He had been working very hard for the last feww weeks at his English and Economics. In a few weeks he would be taking his A-level examinations. He had been going out with Mary most evenings and and weekends but he had been staying up late reading and learning. On this particular evening, Arthur did not see Mary but went straight home from his class to Mrs Harrison's. She now had a colour television set and she and Mr Smithers had been watching it since dinner when Arthur came in.

- Oh, hallo, Arthur. Sit down, dear. You do look tired. We've been watching a lovely programme on the telly. It was all about holidays in Spain. Have you been thinking about who you're going to take with you on your free holiday?

- Well, not really. Good evening, Mr Smithers.

- Hallo.

- Would you like to have your dinner on a tray in here?

- Yes, please. That'd be lovely.

- All right. I'll just go and get.

- Well, what have you been learning about tonight, Arthur?

- Well, we've been doing economoics this evening. I must say it's rather difficult.

- Oh, I had to do that years ago for my banking exams. I can't say I liked it very much either. When are your exams?

- In just under a month, actually.

- Then I suppose you've been hard at it recently?

- Yes, I've been going to bed late most nights.

- Here'S your dinner, Arthur. It's fish and chips.

- Thanks very much. Oh, have you got any tomato sauce?

- Oh dear! No, I'm sorry. I've been meaning to get some all week but I keep on forgetting.

- Oh, well. Never mind.

- It's nearly ten o'clock. Time for the news. Do you mind if I turn the Tv up?

- No, carry on.

Good evening. The Prime Minister has been having talks at Number 10 with union leaders about a voluntary wages policy. Here's our industrial correspondent, Peter Thompson. …

- Are your fish and chips all right, Arthur? Not cold, are they?

- No, they're OK.
