Question

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. It¡¯s not been easy, with two of my own to worry about, as well. David had the best of attention, I must say. But now because I asked him to give up bringing that American friend to his 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 this 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 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 at 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.
