‘The play may begin at any moment,' I said.
‘It may have begun already,' Susan answered.
I hurried to the ticket office. ‘May I have two tickets please?' I asked.
‘I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.
‘What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.
Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.
‘Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
‘Certainly,' the girl said.

‘Certainly,' the girl said, ‘but they're for next Wednesday's performance. Do you still want them?'
‘I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
