How was the party last night? Did you enjoy it?
Oh, don't talk to me about last night! It was the most awful evening I'Ve ever had.
Why? What happened?
Well. Mary had promised to be my date, but she stood me up. I waited for her for a full hour in the cold wind.
What about the party?
It was boring. The music was too slow and the food was lousy and, above all, I was really sick of the same old crowd all the time.
So how long did you stay?
I left after the opening dance. I couldn't wait to get out of there.
