单选题 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 had to spend the weekend with her sister at her sister's home
in a neighboring town. But as Mr. Baker could not cook, so he had arranged
for(安排) his sister to come over and spend the weekend looking after him at their
home. This means that Mr. Baker had quite a 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, so as to take
her to his house. Of course, on Sunday evenings he had to drive
his sister to the station to catch her train back home, and then wait for his
wife's train, so as to bring her home. One Sunday evening he
had seen his sister off on her train and was waiting for his wife's arrival,
when a porter, 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!"
