My Snippet is composed of 11 sentences out of chapter 14. Daniel has returned to his office. He confronts Phoebe asking her if she has taken a lunch break.
***
“Did you take a break?”
“No, I didn’t come in until noon, so I don’t need a break.”
“Yes, you do. Take one now.”
“I don’t want to take a break; I would like to finish what I’m doing.”
“Phoebe, we’re not going to discuss this. As your boss, I’m ordering you to take a break.”
“Okay, Boss. I’ll go sit in the coffee lounge and have a coffee, if that will satisfy your command.”
“No, it won’t. Take three hours off. Go home. See about the kids and give me a call around seven to see if I need you to come back into the office.”
That’s all folks.
Until next Wednesday, be safe.
Shalom aleichem,
