Cathie

[Enter Cathie]

Cathie:

I am quite bored, with Wayne gone out
But he must keep us safe from nuclear fallout
My friend Sorena, lives nearby
A visit with her, is something I'd like to try
I do not know if she is free
But unless I ask I won't find out if she can meet with me

[Cathie calls Sorena]

Sorena:

Hello, who could this be?

Cathie:

Greetings Sorena, it's me Cathie
Would you be free to meet up with me?

Sorena:

Why Cathie, of course! How wonderful you're here!
But what of your marriage? Not some tragedy I fear?

Cathie:

No, nothing like that, set your mind at rest
Myself, and Wayne are really quite blest
But he has been called to work
One of his jobs annoying quirks
Still, what he does is important to the state
And not something I called to debate

Sorena:

Oh, my poor dear! Of course we shall meet
At an expensive restaurant - all my treat
Though, I'm surprised by your devotion
I'd have made my man quit, or get a demotion
He shouldn't abandon you on your honeymoon
That bids of ills, and not of boons

Cathie:

Let's not discuss it, the matters closed
When we meet let me hear of your own fortunes, and woes
My marriage is my affair
I'd thank you to leave it there

Sorena:

So snippy Cath?
You were previously never so quick to wrath
But as you say your marriage is in your hands
Fear not! I will not try to separate you from your man

Now that is done, where shall we eat?
Would the Bouncing Tiger be a nice treat?

Cathie:

Thank you Sorena, for respecting my family
I'm sure you only want to avoid any calamity
The restaurant is truly great
I'm up for it if you think you can bear the weight?

Sorena:

Certainly, my purse is full
I lack neither for gold, nor silver bull*
If I make us a reservation for 2:00
Would that be alright with you?

Cathie:

Yes, that would be fine
I look forward to talking with you as we dine

[Exit all]
