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.
Im sorry, weve 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.
I went back to the ticket office at once.
Could I have those two tickets please? I asked.
Certainly, the girl said, but theyre for next Wednesdays performance. Do you still want them?
I might as well have them, I said sadly.
