53. German police still have no idea of the whereabouts of industrialist¹, Werner Limbock, head of the giant chemical multinational² craft. Mr. Limbock was kidnapped two days ago apparently³ by a group of environmentalist terrorists⁴. Meanwhile, here in Washdon, the police department are looking into the theory that a local organization may have helped help to carry out the kidnapping.
54. Oh, geez!
55. We spoke⁵ to the head of the Washdon Police Department’s foreign and political section, detective superintendent⁶, Harold Carter, explained that in his view,   German…
56. What is it,  darling?  Look, you haven’t tidied it up in here and you’ve still got the television on. Oh, really, David!
57. Come on now. Lilian will be here any moment. What’s the matter with you, David? Are you alright?
58. That’ll be her now. Oh, put that beer away, at least!
59. Darling!
60. Lilian, this is David.
61. So, this is your charming husband. You’re right, darling, he’s terribly good-looking. Lovely to meet you, David. I’ve heard of such a lot about you and your family.
62. What? What have you heard?
63. David, why not go and make some tea? OK darling?
64. Oh, yeah. Sure.
65. This is our apartment, then. What do you think?
66. But it’s so small, darling!
67. Yes, it’s tiny, only 50 square meters in fact. Still there is enough room here for me and David and our little baby.
68. I’m just dying to meet her, of course. Listen darling, between you and me.
69. Here’s the tea and some cookies. Milk and sugar Lillian?
70. Lots of sugar, but no milk please, David.
71. We were just talking about the apartment, darling while you were in the kitchen. My daddy bought it for us. He’d do anything for us and it only cost $150,000. A nice neighborhood two-------- parks only short away.
72. Uh, parks are boring!
73. Well, we’re very near all the big stores too.  Of course, we chose all the furniture ourselves, yes, you, Or…we did…didn’t we David?
74. Yes, you we did.
75. You see that armchair you’re sitting on, Lillian. Well you’ll never guess what’s it made from.
76. Darling, I can’t imagine!
77. From the skin of the baffaloes! Isn’t that incredible⁷?
78. But, darling, leather furniture’s so terribly terrible last year! Anyway, I don’t think David’s very interested in the conversation, are you? David?
79. Eh? Oh, you know, its all the same to me.
80. You have a far away foreign look in your eyes. Something must be on your mind, I guess.
81. Perhaps. Yes you know.
82. Look darling, Lillian’s cup is empty. Why don’t you go and get more tea?
83. Sure I’ll just be a moment.
84. Tell me, Juanita, darling, is it true what they said about David?
85. Is what true? What says? What are you talking about?
86. Here’s the tea.
87. That was quick.
88. That’s because we cook by gas here and not by electricity, you see. Gas is so much quicker. What about you?
89. I have an electric stove but who cares?
90. Now Lilian, let me show you around the apartment. Come on David.
91. Oh, uh, yes.
92. This is the bedroom.
93. The bed’s enormous! It must be two meters wide!
94. But it’s much too soft. Soft beds are terrible for sleeping in.
95. Are they? Now you see the curtains and the wallpaper?
96. Yes, what about them?
97. Well they’ve the same pattern. Didn’t you notice?
98. Oh, yes darling. How terribly clever of you.
99. Who is this handsome mysterious man?
100. That’s , that was my father.
101. Your father I’m dying to hear all about him.
102. Why don’t you go and see if Siegsmonta needs changing darling.
103. OK, fine.
104. Now, my dear, you’ve just got to tell me is it true that David’s father was a member of an international criminal gang, and that he was murdered by his boss?
