 Wife: The gas company phoned this afternoon.
 
 Husband: About the gas stove that we ordered?
 
 Wife: Yes, and also about the gas furnace you asked about.
 
 Husband: What did they say?
 
 Wife: They’re going to send someone out to talk with us about the furnace.
 
 Husband: Good. I think we’re doing the right thing. The old furnace just isn’t 
very efficient anymore.
 
 Wife: I agree. We should be able to 
afford a new furnace now that you got that 
raise in salary.
 
 Husband: Exactly my thoughts.
