D a v i d : Look, dear, a button has come off my coat.
M a r y : Have you got the button?
D a v i d : Yes, I have.
M a r y : Well, bring me my sewing
basket from the next
room.
D a v i d : Here you are!
M a r y : Thank you. I must get a needle and some thread.
D a v i d : Shall I thread the needle for you? It is not an easy
thing to get the thread through the eye of the needle, is it?
M a r y : Ah, I’ve done it. Now take your coat off and I’ll sew
the button on for you.

This is my daily programme. I wake at about seven o’clock
and then it is time for me to get up. I like a cold shower every
morning, so I put on my dressing
gown and slippers and go to
the bathroom. The water feels very cold on winter mornings, but
I rub myself hard with the towel and soon I feel quite warm.
Then I shave, brush my teeth, wash my face and go back to
the bedroom to dress. I brush and comb my hair, take a clean
handkerchief out of the drawer and have breakfast at a quarter
past eight. After breakfast I sit and read my morning paper. If the

weather is fine, I usually walk to my office. At nine o’clock the
day’s work begins. At twelve
thirty I have a break for lunch.
I generally finish my work about six o’clock. Then I have a cup of
tea and a biscuit, and in summer I spend an hour or so out
of

doors, play a few games of tennis or volley
ball.
We have supper about seven
thirty or eight o’clock and then
we sit and talk, or listen to the wireless. Often in summer we
take out the car and go for a run in the country; in winter we go
to the cinema or the theatre. But that is not often. I have a lot of
work to do, and usually after supper I read or write until twelve
or one o’clock.
