I

Helen:I can't make out how you can go hiking, Paula.

Helen:Are you ready to put up with hardships?

Paula:Well, I know for sure that I'm not going to make a mountain out of a molehill. A fortnight of fresh air and exercise will do me a world of good, I suppose.

Helen:Good? You are subject to colds.

Paula:I need a bit of hardening, I think. That's what makes me go hiking.

Helen:Oh, that accounts for it.

II

Ann: Have you heard the news?

Nick:What news? Anything exciting? Out with it!

Ann: Irene is planning to go mountaineering.

Nick:Irene? She isn't the one for camping out, I'm afraid. Fancy her carrying a heavy rucksack. She'll never put up with any lack of comfort, if you ask me.

Ann: I don't think she will. She is sure to complain of hardships the very first day.

Nick:Well, I've never thought she is keen on mountaineering.

Ann: Keen on mountaineering? I think you are being very silly. It's Peter who is keen on mountaineering and she is head over hills in love with him.

Ann: Ah, that accounts for it.
