Helen phones her landlord to see if it’s possible for Alice to keep a cat in the flat. However, there’s something unusual about the landlord’s name.
Helen: | Hi, dad it’s Helen |
Dad: | Hello my dear, how are you? |
Helen: | Studying hard as ever, dad. Can I ask you something as our landlord? Our lease says that we’re not allowed animals in the flat. Well, is there a way that we could get around that? You see, Alice found this kitten and everyone really wants to keep her. |
Dad: | You have a cat in my flat? Oh Helen, why can’t you ever obey the rules? |
Helen: | Oh dad! Please, won’t you bend them for me? |
Dad: | Well… |
Helen: | Please! |
Dad: | Just this once. |
Tim: | Kitty, did you hear what I just heard? She called the landlord “dad”. What a dark horse Helen is! |
