PART 1 (first sentence)

I came across an odd theory in a fashion book the other day. I can’t do this menial job! It is a matter of principle! What an ostentatious car! Mere mortals don’t drive vehicles like this! This computer costs $4000.
This much-maligned scientist’s approach has finally been acknowledged as sane. I was riding the elevator and this dis-embodied albeit familiar voice spoke to me! It bore resem-blance to the voice of my dead mother. She shops at thrift stores hunting for bargains. People goggle at her because her clothes are always dirty and mismatched. This woman is an epitome of down-to-earthness and matter-of-factness.
This boxer’s a lefty. His opponents are invariably thrown off by this. We only have 5 terrestrial channels. They don’t provide for a good pastime. Her skill at getting entangled in senseless pursuits is legendary. He wants to sublet me his apartment for a lower price.

PART 2 (reply, reaction)

Don’t fall for this artifice! If you sign the contract, you will be the new renter and the landlord will ask for the full amount! How does her husband live with her? He’s a hedonistic person full of self-indulgence. It’s just a means to an end. I created an image of myself that I cannot deviate from. Yes, I heard of the warty-realism of his view of the so-called “retail therapy”.
Yeah, I watch this pottering program. It’s not bad per se but as a whole I am inclined to agree with you. Yes, she spends minimum on inessentials, manages her own financial affairs and never calls anybody just to chat. Right. Now she’s trying to sell her old house at an extortionate price no one’s gonna pay. Yes, and the lad’s talented, he’s gonna make it even in the cut-throat boxing world competition.
What a rip-off! So, did she yell at you for being a naughty boy? What, about the kind of clothes models wouldn’t be seen dead in? You prefer to stay at home performing recurring domestic chores?

PART 1 (first sentence)

Mary called me and asked to convey the following message: she’s seething with righteous indignation at James’ behaviour the other night. She was so effusive in her gratitude that it instantly made me wary. Did you like James? I though you talk went rather amicably. There was a public uproar when people found out he’d never bought anybody a round.
She’s a shrewd guide of human character but generally displays reluctance when asked for her opinion about someone. Can we bypass the meeting by going straight to the Director? Or is it an outrage against corporate etiquette? I cringe with embarrassment every time I witness his loutishness. I can’t do it now. I am hedged about with lots of problems. For instance, my car broke down and I have to pool to work.
I need to spend some quality time with my kids. Maybe throw them a fête. What’s on the agenda today? And who’s keeping the minutes? What’s the system here? This athlete is an underdog in this competition yet he’s overtly very calm.

PART 2 (reply, reaction)

True. In our circle he came to be known as “The Ogre”. But leaving all these material issues aside, are you OK? It’s winner stays on. Don’t be! She’s just an exalted women and it’s her typical comportment.
Yes, I remember. She struck up a conversation with him and he got pissed off at her because she frowned upon some swear words he used. Well, I can’t say I wholeheartedly agree. By following the normal procedure I think we’ll end up rather better off than if we try to circumvent it. You can’t imagine the fervour he trained with and the bewilderment that everybody will experience when he wins. It didn’t. Our conversation was very stilted. He’s a stiff-upper-lipped bastard who wants to appear manly in his miserliness.
I’ll get a couple of these pre-mixed drinks in her and she’ll tell me all I want to know. So the rough idea is to hire a clown who’s entertaining them while you sprawl on the lounge chair sipping on a whisky? Well he himself only buys soft-drinks… Well, OK, he can’t be credited with much generosity. Today we are talking about the precautions one needs to take when expressing elation at a football stadium.
