2、all be having a picnic tomorrow afternoon,“ said my hostess, Mrs. Brown. “It Will be quite simple and we shant make any fuss. I think an afternoon in the open air will do us good, dont you? Would you like to come with us?“ I had already made an appointment with the hairdresser but I weakly agreed to
3、 cancel it. Mrs. Brown smiled graciously. “I shall be making some cakes this afternoon,“ she explained, “so I shant have any free time.

7、 the kitchen. Breakfast was late and consisted of corn flakes and toast. “I must apologize for neglecting you,“ said Mrs. Brown. “So much to do! You wont mind making your bed this morning, will you? Im so busy. Im afraid we shall have to make do with cold meat and potatoes for lunch. “ The whole mor
8、ning seemed to be spent in loading the car with a variety of bags, baskets and mysterious parcels. After a lunch of cold mutton, boiled potatoes, and limp damp lettuce, we took our rain jackets and umbrellas and fitted ourselves into the car. I was in the back seat, squeezed uncomfortably in the mid
9、st of a mountain of equipment. We crawled for the next two hours along a main road where a line of traffic was wedged so tightly together that it was almost stationary. Mr. Brown was in charge of the steering wheel but Mrs. Brown controlled the driving. At last we turned down a narrow lane and start
10、ed looking for a suitable place for tea. Each one that we saw had its drawbacks: too sunny, too shady, too exposed, too sheltered. “If we were to picnic there, we should be too hot, cold, conspicuous, shut in,“ declared Mrs. Brown as she inspected each in turn. At last she decided that a certain mea
11、dow (in reality no different from any other meadow we had examined) would do. Mr. Brown opened the gate and drove the car inside. We started to unload.

At last she found words. “But you can see weve only just started eating,“ she protested indignantly. “Surely you can delay sending them in for an hour or so?“ “Sorry maam, weve other jobs to do. Well give you time to clear up: thats the most that we can allow. Say twenty min
16、utes. You know youre trespassing, of course?“ Mrs. Brown seemed to collapse in her chair. I wished I were fifty miles off. Mr. Brown was the only one that accepted the situation philosophically. “It seems to be high time we departed,“ was his only comment. Half an hour after we moved off as the cows
17、 were wandering down the lane and as the first drops of rain were falling. We joined the traffic jam in the main road.
