Sarah and Brian have traveled by air from London to Sydney. Sarah has promised her mother that she will 1 her to let her know that they have arrived 2 . This is 3 she has done ever since she was a 4 . Brian thinks it is a silly idea to ring so 5 , to spend so much, and to say so 6 .
“If there were an accident,” he says, “they'd know soon enough. 7 news travels fast.”
But Sarah has promised that she would ring. “ 8 ” she says, “it doesn't cost 9 when you consider that it's the other side of the world. It's 10 six pence per second”.
“If you 're on that telephone for 11 than one minute, I will eat the hat.” Brain says. “And one minute is nearly four pounds.”
“That's no more than you'd pay for a new hat.” Sarah replies.
She has asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number. The 12 rings. Sarah picks it up.
“Hello, Mum. Is that you?” she says.
“Six pence per second.” Brian reminds her.
“Hello, Love.” It is Mrs Lee, Sarah's mother, speaking from London. "You do sound 13 . You could be in the next room. It's a better line than 14 you used to call me from the University. Do you remember? I used to shout and still you 15 hear me sometimes. And just think, you're on the other side of the world.”
“Yes Mum,” Sarah puts 16 , “I just wanted to ring to…”
“I remember how you used to ring when you went to Betty's house to tea. When you were a little girl. And then when you used to go to camp with the Guides...” Mrs Lee is a eat 17 .
“Nearly six pounds,” says Brian Sarah manages to tell her mother that it is time to say 18 .
“Yes, all right,” says Mrs Lee, “But you will write, won't you. Like you 19 to do when you were at University...”
Once again, Mrs Lee speaks loudly of the past. And there is 20 stopping of her.
“Eight pounds fifty,” says Brian.
Finally, Sarah cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.
“There! That wasn't long, was it?”
