" We shall dine after some time," he said.
" Dinner is laid ,if you have everything , I should like to retire," said Boreska.

" Annette my darling wake up ," he said.

" Rupert hit me on the head," he replied.
" That's very nasty," she said with concern.
" Where have you been in the past two days?" Asked Harry.
