Lesson 18 He often does this!

Text

After I had had lunch at a village pub, I looked for my bag. I had left it on a chair beside the door and now it wasn’t there! As I looking for it, the landlord came in.
‘Did you have a good meal?’ he asked.
‘Yes, thank you,’ I answered, ‘but I can’t pay the bill. I haven’t got my bag.’
The landlord smiled and immediately went out. In a few minutes he returned back with my bag and gave it back to me.
‘I’m very sorry,’ he said. ‘My dog had taken it into the garden. He often does this!’
