Question 103
HardOriginal questionIshaan: So it's . Manali, the second week of June. All five of us.
Tanvi: Sounds lovely.
Ishaan: You'll come, won't you? We need five to share the car.
Tanvi: Of course. Well, probably. It a few things.
Ishaan: Like what?
Tanvi: My cousin might be visiting that week. And the coaching classes might start early. And you know how my mother is about mountains.
Ishaan: Your cousin visits every June. You've never let her stop you before.
Tanvi: This time she might stay longer.
Ishaan: Tanvi. Is it the money?
Tanvi: (after a long ) It's a bit more than I thought.
Ishaan: Why didn't you just say so?
Tanvi: Because it sounds so small. Everyone else said yes straight away.
Ishaan: It's not small. We'll take the bus instead of the car, and stay in the hostel, not the hotel. It'll cost half as much.
Tanvi: You'd do that?
Ishaan: The hills look exactly the same from a bus.
