Well, Mrs．Evans, I’ve done my best to look after David．I’ve tidied his room up every day, got him a meal together whenever he needed one and made sure he’s always?
had a clean shirt to put on．But now because I asked him to give up bringing that American friend home he has got quite miserable and unfriendly．He comes in at all hours and his behavior——well it’s quite hard to put up with——and it’s all because of his friend．I’m sure he’s a bad influence．You see, David’s a visitor and doesn’t fully understand our ways．
He used to study in most evenings．He’s got through quite a bit of work．He did up his room quite nicely, with bookshelves and large posters．He’d ask Mr．Smith and me up for a drink and cheer us up with songs from his country．He’s very good on the guitar, you know．
I don’t want to appear as if I’m running after him but it’s about time we made it up．I’m sure he’s upset because I told him off．It might be a good idea to take him out for a meal, perhaps even with his friend．I don’t know whether it will do any good but we can try．I’m glad I’ve had this little chat with you, Mrs．Evans, and I’ll let you know how I get on．
