     When will the writer see the play?
     'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.
     'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.
     I hurried to the ticket office. 'May I have two tickets please?' I asked.
     'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.
     'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.
     Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.
     'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
     'Certainly,' the girl said.
     I went back to the ticket office at once.
     'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.
     'Certainly,' the girl said, 'but they're for next Wednesday's performance. Do you still want them?'
     'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
