“No, he must be on his way,” replies Dennis.
“Yes, he said he left the office 30 minutes ago,” says Michael. “He must be about
to arrive.”
“Traffic must be bad, because it usually doesn’t take this long,” Dennis says.
Michael looks at his watch. “He must feel badly about being late,” he says. “I
know he hates to be kept waiting, so he doesn’t like to do it to other people.”
“Oh, that’s all right! We mustn’t get impatient, don’t you think?” Dennis smile.
“Remember his rule: the one who is late must buy lunch!”
