Sheila was surprised when she looked at her wrist watch and saw that it was already six o'clock. She explained that her train left at twenty to seven and therefore asked Peter to call a taxi for her. Peter laughed and told her that he would not do that, and when Sheila got more and more excited explaining that she didn't want to miss the train because the next one woudn't take her home in time to say good-buy to her husband John, who was leaving that night for a business-trip to Glasgow, Peter interrupted her and told her not to worry. He himself could drive her to the station. He added that his car was outside the house and it would take them only ten minutes. Sheila didn't want her brother to take so much trouble, but he told her he had nothing else to do that evening and that it was no trouble at all. So Sheila agreed and Peter offered her another cup of tea. She thought the tea was excellent and told her brother so. But then Peter looked at his watch, jumped from his chair and rushed his sister out of the house. When she asked him why he suddenly was in such a hurry e explained to her that her that her watch must be slow and it was already half past six. He pointed out that they would have to be as quick as possible if she didn't want to miss the train after all.
