Meeting People after a Long Time.

Although handshakes are not often given by the English, it is quite common to shake hands when meeting a friend one has not seen for six months or so.

A: We haven't seen you for ages. Have you been ill?

В: No, I've been up north for a month.

A: Where was that?

В: Glasgow. I got back the day before yesterday.

***

A: How nice to see you again. Where have you been? Home?

B: No, I've been visiting rela­tions.

A: Whereabouts?

B: I went to Stirling to see an uncle of mine.

***

A: Come in and sit down. We haven't seen much of you lately.

B: No, I've been away on holiday.

A: Where exactly?

B: Edinburgh. I've got a cousin there.

***

A: You're quite a stranger¹. Have you moved or some­thing?

B: No, I've had a few weeks in Scotland.

A: Where did you go?

B: Aberdeen. I stayed with my brother.
