Переведите в косвенную речь:
The Brown Family at Breakfast.
Part I
Arthur: Has the post come yet, Robert?
Robert: Yes. There were only two letters, one for you and mother, and one for me.
Eileen: Nothing for me?
R: Of course not.
E: Why "of course not"?
R: Well, you never write to anyone. You've never written a letter in your life.
E: I have.
R: You haven't.
Jane: Now you two, stop arguing and get on with your breakfast.
Part II
A: Who was our letter from, Jane?
J: Edith. Here it is.
A: Have you read it?
J: Yes.
A: Well just tell me what she says.
J: Don't you want to read it?
A: I've left my glasses upstairs. Have they moved yet?
J: Yes. They moved last Tuesday.
A: How do they like the new house?
J: They love it.
A: Good.
J: They've bought one or two new pieces of furniture.
A: Have they got rid of that awful old sofa?
J: Yes. And they've bought some new chairs for the kitchen.
Part III
A: Have they started on the garden?
J: Oh, yes. They started on that weeks ago, I suppose. They've done the front garden. They haven't touched the back at all.
A: Well, at least they've made a start.
J: They've been very lucky with their neighbors.
A: In what way have they been lucky?
J: Well, they were very kind on the day Ann moved.
A: What did they do?
J: Sarah (that's the wife's name) looked after the two boys the whole day...
A: How nice of her!
J: And Tom (that's the husband) helped Peter to lay the carpets.
A: Hm, hm.
J: He's even offered to help Peter with the garden.
