NCE2(19) -- Sold Out

Sold out

"The play may begin at any moment," I said.
"It may have begun already," Susan answered.
I hurried to the ticket office." May I have two tickets please?" I asked.

"Can I return these two tickets?" he asked.

I went back to the ticket office at once.
"Could I have those two tickets please?" I asked.
"Certainly," the girl said, "but they're for next Wednesday's performance. Do you still want them?"
"I might as well have them," I said sadly.
