Leson 68 Persistent

I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. It was no use pretending than i had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are. he always insists on coming with you. I  had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.

   ‘Hello, Nigel,’ I said.’Fancy meeting you here!’

    ‘Hi, Elizabeth,’Nigel answered. I was just wondering how to spent the morning-until I saw you. You’re not busy doing anything, are you?

    ‘No at all,’ I answered.’I am going to …’

     ‘would you mind my coming with you ?’he asked, before I had finished speaking.

     ‘Not at all,’I lied, ‘but I ‘m going to the dentist.’

      Then I’ll come with you, he answered. ‘There’ always plenty to read in the waiting room’
