Peter: Hello Mary! Are you going from college?
Mary: Yes, I am. To the point, Peter, why haven't you been at college today?
Peter: I haven't felt well, since morning. I have been a bit shaky and I have had a high temperature. Now, I'm starting feeling a bit better.
Mary: Well, I hope this time you didn't forget about Mark's birthday.
Peter: Mary! How can you say this! Mark just didn't invite me to his last birthday a year ago! That's why I didn't go to congratulate him, and that was the only reason.
Mary: Really? But I heard that you were invited by him and you even borrowed some money from Mendy to buy him a present for his birthday and then you lost it! Didn't you?
Peter: Nonsense! Who told you this? Yes, I actually bought a present and was waiting for his invitation. But I repeat this once again, I wasn't invited by Mark. That's the thing.
Mary: Ok, calm down, please. You shouldn't scream at me. Incidentally, I know that this time Mark is going to invite you. He is throwing a party the day after tomorrow. Are you going to go to his place this time? But please, if you go, don't come ten minutes after everyone has sat at the table with a goblet of champagne!
Peter: You again started blaming me for the things I don't do. When was I late last time? Can you remind me?
Mary: Oh, no, I confused you with your brother Mike. I apologize for it. So, what's your decision?
Peter: Hmmm...I think I will go to his birthday this time though I have felt a bit offended by his behaviour lately.
