**THE LONDON TAXI**
The sky over London was cloudy. A few drops of rain began to fall over Kensington. Ten minutes later they had turned into a downpour. “Georges, my dear, if we don’t want Dickens to get wet, we have to take a taxi,” Margaret declared as she petted her dog. ‘Margaret, my dear, that will not be easy in this rain. Oh, here comes one now!” Georges shouted, stretching out his arm to hail the taxi. Seeing them at the last moment, the driver of the black cab tried to brake, but one of his wheels went into a huge hole full of water, soaking them. “Oh!” Georges managed to mumble. He opened the door and, ever the gentleman, let his wife into Dickens first, both of them soaked to the bone. “Where to then?” the taxi driver asked. “The British Museum, please,” Georges replied imperturbably as a trickle of water fell from his nose. “Margaret, my dear, they have an excellent Turner exhibition on that great painter of tempests and tempests. I think we’ll be in the perfect mood for it,” he added, with a stiff upper lip.
