Lesson68 Persistent

I crossed the street to avoid meeting him,

but he saw me and came running towards me.

It was no use pretending that I had not seen him,

so I waved to him.

I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes.

He never has anything to do.

No matter how busy you are,

he always insists on coming with you.

I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.

'Hello, Nigel,' I said. 'Fancy meeting you here !'

'Hi, Elizabeth,' Nigel answered. ' I was just wondering how to spend the morning--until I saw you. You're not busy doing anything, are you ?'

' No, not at all,' I answered.' I'm going to.. .'

'Would you mind my coming with you ?' he asked, before I had finished speaking.

‘ Not at all,' I lied, 'but I'm going to the dentist.'

' Then I'll come with you,' he answered.' There's always plenty to read in the 'waiting room !'
