Dear Susane,

eH w
I'm sorry I left without you last night, but I told you to meet me early because the show started at 8:00. I (try)
had been trying to get tickets for that play for months, and I didn't want to miss it. By the time I finally left the coffee

o.

shop where we were supposed to meet, I (have) had had five cups of coffee and I (wait) had been waiting
ou urc
over an hour. I had to leave because I (arrange) had arranged to meet Kathy in front of the theater.
o

When I arrived at the theater, Kathy (pick, already) had already picked up the tickets and she was waiting for us near
aC s

the entrance. She was really angry because she (wait) had been waiting for more than half an hour. She said she
vi y re

(give, almost) had almost given up and (go) had gone into the theater without us.

Kathy told me you (be) had been late several times in the past and that she would not make plans with you again in the
ed d
ar stu

future. She mentioned that she (miss) had missed several movies because of your late arrivals. I think you owe her an

apology. And in the future, I suggest you be on time!
