Unit Two In the Morning

JANE: You overslept this morning, didn't you?

SARAH: How do you know?

JANE: Well, look at the way you've made up your face. And you've done your shirt up so that one side is higher than the other.

SARAH: Oh dear. Do you think anyone's noticed?

JANE: Well, I have.

SARAH: It's terrible. I keep on oversleeping. I wake up late nearly every day, and I have to get up in a hurry...

SARAH: Time! I don't have time to see to the children's breakfast, let alone worry about anything else.
