It was just before noon when some people came into our office. They had traveled for a good hour, and I knew them only casually. After I gave them the necessary information, I wondered where they might be eating. – It was cold outside, and the thought occurred to me to invite them to lunch. I went into the next room for a moment and called my wife, whom I told about my plan. – Delighted by her positive response, I invited the people to lunch.
