Vic came home by bus. He got off at the corner as he caught the smell of fish and chips. He liked to eat everything in the open air. He finished his fish and chips before he got to the gate. His parents were at home and watching TV. His father asked Vic if he wanted his supper but Vic just wanted a cup of cocoa. He sat down on the sofa in front of the TV set and started to think why Ingrid hadn't come to meet him.

Vic's mother asked him where he had been and he told her the truth. His father did not approve of young people going to the cinema because the tickets were very expensive. When Vic went into the bathroom and started cleaning his teeth, his brother brought him a letter which he found behind the front door. It was a long letter from Ingrid in which she explained why she hadn't come. She had to see off her cousin and the train was late. She asked Vic to meet her at the same place and at the same time tomorrow afternoon.
