Linda and David have travelled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised her mother that she would ring her to let her know that they had arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little. If there were an accident. He says, theyd know soon enough. Bad news travels fast.
But Linda has promised that she would ring. However, she says, it doesnt cost much when you just think that its the other side of the world. Its only six pence per second 。
If youre on that telephone for less than one minute, Ill eat my hat, David says, And one minutes nearly four pounds. Thats no more than youd pay for a new hat, Linda answers.
She has asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it up.
Hello, Mum. Is that you? She says.
Six pence per second, David reminds her.
Hello, love. It is Mrs Lee, Lindas mother, speaking from London. I can hear you very clearly just like you are in the next room. Its a better line than when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I shouted at that time, and still you couldnt hear me sometimes.

I remember how you rang when you went to Bettys house to eat, when you were a little girl. And then when you Mrs Lee is a great talker

Yes, all right,says Mrs Lee, But you will write, wont you, as you did when you were at work
Once again, Mrs Lee talks about the past, and there is no stopping her.
