'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.#

'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.#
'Certainly,' the girl said.#
'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.#
'Certainly, 'the girl said, 'but they're for next Wednesday's performance.#
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.&
