problem was that she had to be at the technical school where she teaches interior design at 10 o’clock, when her first class started. The technical school is 20 miles east of Lincoln, so Nancy had to drive a total of 160 miles before 10:00. She drove relatively fast and got to Mr. Evans’ house at 8:35. She spent ten minutes talking to him about some details of the plan and then started her drive to the school at 8:45. She had to drive 90 miles in an hour and fifteen minutes. Fortunately, Lincoln is a relatively small city and there isn’t a lot of traffic. She got to the school at exactly five minutes to ten. She had a quick coffee with one of the other teachers and entered her class at two minutes past ten.

15. NIGEL PERKINS
    Last week, Nigel Perkins flew to Monte Carlo with his wife to visit their son, Ronny. Nigel and his wife go to Monte Carlo two or three times every year between November and March because Ronny is too busy the other half of the year to be with them. They drove to Gatwick Airport on Wednesday morning and left the car at the airport parking lot. They had first class reservations for the two-hour flight. The plane left Gatwick on time at 11:15 and got to Monte Carlo ten minutes early, at five minutes past one. Nigel and his wife weren’t expecting to meet Ronny at the airport, so they caught a taxi and went to his apartment near the port. They were surprised to find that their son wasn’t at home. Nigel didn’t have a key to theapartment, so he and his wife spent some time looking at the shop windows along the street. After 20 minutes, they went back to the apartment building and tried again. Ronny still wasn’t there. The temperature was around 15 degrees and Nigel’s wife felt a little cold. They decided to go to a small bookshop about 300 meters from Ronny’s apartment building. Nigel likes to spend time in bookshops, but his wife, Margaret, doesn’t, so Nigel asked permission to use the telephone and called Ronny’s mobile number. Ronny was in a meeting with a tour operator not far from the bookshop. He said he was sorry and told Nigel that the porter in his apartment building had a key to his apartment. Nigel and Margaret walked back to the building, called the porter, and asked for the key. Ronny arrived two hours later.
