10) Mr Jones Mr Jones was very angry with his wife, and she was very angry with him. For several days they did not speak to each other at all. One evening Mr Jones was very tired when he came back from work, so he went to bed soon after dinner. Of course, he did not say anything to her before he went upstairs. She washed the dinner things and then did some sewing. When she went up to bed much later than her husband, she found a piece of paper on the small table near her bed. On it were the words, “Mother. – Wake me up at seven a.m. – Father.” When he woke up the next morning, it was nearly eight a.m. – and on the small table near his bed he saw another piece of paper. He took it and read these words: “Father. -  Wake up. It is seven a.m. – Mother.” Why did Mr and Mrs Jones not speak to each other for several days?        Why did he go to bed soon after dinner?       Did he speak to his wife before he went upstairs?       What did she do after dinner?       When did she go to bed?      What did she find when she went to bed?      Where did she find it?      What did she read?       At what time did he wake up the next morning?       What did he read?       Why did he not wake up at seven a.m.?
