J: Well, that sounds great, but it’s a rather large gallery. What do you suggest, Susan? Would you rather go to a smaller gallery to begin with? S: Yes, please John. I don’t like large museums. I’d go to the Frick Collection. That’s quite small and we could go the Metropolitan Museum after that. G: Well, how about this? Tomorrow we go to the Frick in the morning and the Metropolitan in the afternoon. The Metropolitan stays open until 8:45 pm on Fridays. So if you’ve had enough by dinner time, Susan, you can go back to the hotel. John and I can stay at the museum till it closes. J: Sounds good to me. S: It’s certainly a better arrangement.

J: Do you think we’ve time to go to the Whitney first and then the Guggenheim? They’re quite close together. G: Let’s try. Is that OK with you, Susan? SUSAN: Yes, I suppose so! (grudgingly). I’d prefer… I’d rather… I’d like… I want to… Would you rather…? Would you like …or …? Which would you prefer…? If it was up to me, I’d choos
