“I remember Bob talking about his enterprising aunt. I got the impression that she knows the particulars of her profession very well.”
“That was a correct evaluation. She was telling me about mortgage matters and she really seems to know what she is talking about.”
“Experienced real estate agents know exactly which mortgage brokers will come up with the desired results.”
“Bob’s aunt was saying that it will be easy to arrange a new mortgage for him when he buys his next apartment.”
“Undoubtedly. As a unionized construction worker, he earns big money. Anyway, I am happy that he will no longer be in your apartment building. I have been wanting to see your condo and Alice wants to come along for the first visit.”
“My guess is that she has a special reason for wanting to be here for the first visit.”
“That is a good guess. She wants to get a taste of the Calvados that you brought from the French restaurant. Do you remember that she didn’t get any because she was the designated driver?”
“Yes, I do remember her selfless behavior of that afternoon. You can tell Alice that I have put the bottle in a place that is out of sight. That way I won’t be tempted to take a sip now and then.”
“Alice has nothing planned for this evening and I can easily delegate my chores. So, we would like to visit you tonight and bring along dinner. Would that arrangement suit you?”
“It would suit me very well. It just occurred to me that I am out of a number of provisions and it is a bit late for going shopping. Anyway, dining together is more fun than doing it alone.”
“I will also bring along your new cell. This evening will probably be a good time to bring you up to speed on the various functions of the phone.”
“And, I will provide you with all the details of Doug’s e-mail message. He just sent me a short text-blurb via his I-phone. He indicated that there will be a lengthy response from him within the hour.”
“I am looking forward to that!”
