DL092: Harry Lime ~ How the Rich Call the Shots

May 18, 2017

Photo (c) Ammentorp/Bigstock Photo Along for the ride Let's face it, Harry knew that he wasn't the one calling the shots. Obviously, someone had looked for him with the personal ad in the newspaper, led him to the concierge who handed him an envelope, and provided him with a limousine ride to the airport, flight tickets to Tangier, and money in his pocket. Time out for a date He intended to find out who that was, but tonight he was on a date with a beautiful woman. He had money (from his benefactor) in his pocket to treat her well on this night out. In this area of his life, Harry is still the one in charge. But then, his date paid for the meal! Look who's calling the shots! Harry is in for even more surprises when the airline hostess he is dating proves to be more wealthy than him. Her money has allowed her to control his circumstances. It’s a rather awkward position for Harry to find himself in.   Keywords and Transcript  Log in and download the bonus 'Keywords and Transcript' PDFs at https://www.englishmomentum.com/dl092   Quizlet: English-Chinese Flashcards and Games DL092 on Quizlet    Let's Talk I think Harry enjoys spending time with Patsy – and that’s an understatement!
