As the play draws to its close,
they wonder whether they will ever catch that last train home.

The latest exhibitions, films, or plays are only a short bus ride away.
Shopping, too, is always a pleasure.
There is so muchvariety that you never have to make do with second best.

who appreciate all these things,
obstinatelypretend that they would prefer to live in the country.
