Jennifer: Dear Celia! How are you doing?
Jennifer: The afternoon with the Collins was very pleasant, nice folks, but we missed you.
Jennifer: But I appreciate your consideration for Peter.
Celia: My dear Jenny! It turns out that my decision not to come, though I wanted so much to see you again and Peter and the Collins, was right. Yesterday it all developed into a full bore cold. Sh.....
Celia: All symptoms like in a text book.
Celia: Luckily it's contagious only on the first 2, 3 days, so when we meet next week it should be alright.
Celia: Thanks for asking! Somehow for all of us Peter comes first now.
Jennifer: That's too bad. Poor you...
Jennifer: I'll be driving to FR, do you want me to bring you sth? It's on my way.
Celia: Thank you dear! I was at the pharmacy yesterday and had done my shopping the day before.
Celia: You'd better still stay away from me in case I'm still contagious
Jennifer: Right. So I'll only leave a basket on your terrace. Are you in bed?
Celia: Goodness me - not! Actually working at the desk. A long overdue commission.
Jennifer: OK I won't disturb you.
Celia: What basket??
Jennifer: If you can work it can't be that bad.
Jennifer: Maria brought plenty of cookies and I still had my linzertorte, so we're glutted with cakes and you surely have none.
Celia: But you gave me two bags of almond snaps! 
Celia: I'm so happy I've lost some weight in Mexico.
Jennifer: They keep forever! Why don't you share them with William? All men love linzertorte.
Celia: True enough. Gustav did!
Celia missed the meeting with Jennifer, Peter and the Colins because of a cold. She's working from home though. Jennifer will drop her a basket with pastries.
