難以忍受
The doorbell rang and Mrs. Carson opened the front door. Her heart sank when she saw Mrs. Burbidge. Whenever Mrs. Burbidge called， she stayed for hours and hours.
“Good afternoon， Mrs. Carson，” Mrs. Burbidge said， “I was just passing， and I thought I'd drop in to say hello.”
“How very thoughtful of you，” Mrs. Carson replied. “Do come in.”
Just as Mrs. Carson had feared， Mrs. Burbidge stayed for several hours. It was nearly six o'clock， and Mr. Carson would be home from work soon. He couldn't stand Mrs. Burbidge. So Mrs. Carson kept wondering how she could persuade Mrs. Burbidge to leave without offending her.
“Has your husband come home from work yet？” Mrs. Carson asked.
“Oh， yes，” Mrs. Burbidge answered. “He always gets home about five o'clock.”
“It's nearly six o'clock. Won't he be getting worried about you？” Mrs. Carson said.
“I thought of that，” Mrs. Burbidge said， “but it's so pleasant here. We've had such a lovely afternoon. You know what I'll do？ I'll ring up my husband and tell him to come here， too. May I use your phone please？”
門鈴響了，卡森夫人打開前門。當她看到波比吉太太時心里一沉。波比吉太太每次都在呆上十個八個小時的。
“下午好，卡森夫人。”波比吉太太招呼道，“我路過這兒，想起進來問聲好。”
“多虧您有這份心思，”卡森夫人答道，“快請進。”
正如卡森夫人所擔心的，波比吉太太呆了整整一個下午。已經快六點了，卡森先生要下班了。他可忍受不了波比吉太太，所以卡森夫人一直在琢磨如何體面而不傷和氣地下逐客令。
“您先生下班回家了嗎？”卡森夫人問道。
“噢，是的，”波比吉太太說，“他經常是五點鐘左右回家。”
“現在快六點了，他是不是正在為您擔心呢？”卡森夫人暗示。
“我也想到了，”波比吉太太道，“但呆在這兒真讓人愉快。我們度過了一個美好的下午。您猜我想什么來著？我想打電話叫他也到這兒來。我可以用一下電話嗎？”
