 I told you she hadn't come in yet. It's only six o'clock that's much too early for her.

But she told me she'd be back early to-night because of the dinner. She's supposed to help me fix the flowers for the table.

I wouldn't count on her too much if I were you. Would you like me to help you?

Oh, I'd rather she did. If I do them without her they won't look like anything.

Very well.

Isn't she tiresome always being late like this! What am I to do about my dress?

What about it?

I've got to know what dress to put on!

Surely you don't need your sister to decide that?
