Mrs. Baker’s sister was ill. She had someone to look after her from Monday to Friday but not at the weekend so every Friday evening Mrs. Baker used to go off to spend the weekend with her at her home in a neighbouring (邻近的）town. But as Mr. Baker could not cook she had asked his sister to come over and spend the weekend looking after him at their home.

This means that Mr. Baker had busy time when he came home from work on Friday evenings.

First he had to drive home from the railway station. Then he had to drive his wife to the station to catch her train. And then he had to wait until his sister’s train arrived to take her to his house. Of course on Sunday evening he had to drive his sister to the station to catch her train back home and then wait for his wife’s train to bring her home.

One Sunday evening after seeing his sister off he was waiting for his wife’s arrival when a porter (搬运工)，who had often seen him at the station came over and spoke to him. “You are having a lot of fun ” he said. “But one day one of those women is going to catch you with the other and then you will be in real trouble!”
