Indirect speech
Two businessmen, Shah and Ahmed, are at a lunch meeting. They are waiting for their co-worker, Ishaq, who is late.
“We will wait for Ishaq before we start,” says Shah. “Is he here yet?”
“No, he is on his way,” replies Ahmed.
“Yes, he said he left the office 30 minutes ago,” says Shah. “He is going to arrive.”
“Traffic may be bad, because it usually doesn’t take this long,” Ahmed says.
Shah looks at his watch. “He will be feeling badly about being late,” he says. “I know he hates to be kept waiting, so he doesn’t like to do it to other people.”
“Oh, that’s all right! We we’re getting impatient for no reason; don’t you think?” Ahmed smiles. “Remember his rule: the one who is late must buy lunch!”
