- Let's go to the dining-hall. We haven't much time left, but we'll manage it all right if you hurry. You take a place in the queue and I'll see what we can get for dinner.
- All right. What is on the menu?
- Cabbage soup with meat, chicken soup with noodles and pea soup.
-1 don't know whether I'M have any. What have they got for seconds?
- Fried fish and mashed potatoes, beefsteak, bacon and eggs.
- And for dessert?
- A lot of things. We can have stewed fruit or cranberry jelly or strawberries and cream.
- Then, I'll take cabbage soup with sour cream and... Well, and what about some starter? We've completely forgotten about it.
- As we are in a hurry I believe we can do without it. I never thought you were a big eater.
- Neither did I. But I wouldn't mind having something substantial now.
- So we'll take one cucumber salad and one tomato salad. That'll do for the time being. I think I can manage a bit of fish-jelly as well and then chicken soup with noodles. That'll be fine.
