Linda and David travelled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda had promised(答应) her mother that she would ring her to let her know that they had arrived safely.

"If there were an accident," he said, "they'd know soon enough. Bad news travels fast."
But Linda had promised that she would ring. So she said, "It doesn't cost much when you just think that it's the other side of the world. It's only six pence per second(每秒-六便士) ."
"If you're on that telephone for less than one minute, Fll eat my hat," David said,"and one minute's nearly four pounds.”
"That's no more than what you've paid for your new hat,"Linda answered.
She asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number. The telephone rang. Linda picked it up.
"Hello,Mum. Is that you?" she said.
"Six pence per second," David reminded(提醒) her,
"Hello,love.”It was Mrs Lee,Linda's mother, speaking from London.

"Yes， Mum," Linda put in. "I just wanted to tell you..."
"I remember how you rang when you went to Betty's house to have a meal,when you were a little girl. And then when you..." Mrs Lee is a great talker. "Nearly four pounds," said David.
Linda tried to tell her mother that it was time to say goodbye.
"Yes,all right," said Mrs Lee，"But you will write, won't you,as you did when you were at work..." Once again, Mrs Lee talked about the past,and no one could stop her. "Four pounds fifty," said David.
At last，Linda cut her mother short，promised to write，and rang off. "There!That wasn't long,was it?"
"Four pounds ninety pence," David answered. "And you didn't even say that we've arrived."
