Mr. Phillips: Good evening, Mrs. Adams. Good evening, sir. What would you like to drink?

　　Mr. Adams: My wife is driving tonight so I’ll need something strong.

　　Mr. Phillips: Follow me. Everyone’s in the sitting room.

　　Background sounds of subdued merriment, voices, glasses, interrupted by the sound of metal on glass. Pause while noises stop.

　　Mr. Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to tell you the reason for this party. Of course, we’re always delighted to see all of you but ... what I want to say is ... Helen has just won a prize. She entered a competition and we’re going to Bermuda on a free holiday.

　　Background sounds of congratulations. ‘Well done, Helen.’ ‘Congratulations.’ ‘What a surprise. When are you leaving?’

　　Mr. Phillips: Now I’d like to ask my wife to tell you about her success. Helen?

　　Mrs. Phillips: Well, all I can say is: what a surprise! I had no idea I was going to win. I didn’t even know I was going to enter the competition. Henry did all the work, didn’t you, Henry? He told me how to fill in the form, how to answer the questions and how to write one sentence about Fluorex Toothpaste. The strange thing is ... we’ve never used it.

　　Discussion:

　　James and Patrick were alone in the office.

　　Patrick: You’re not looking very cheerful. What’s the matter with you?
