In-Depth Information
“I'll tell you what, baby. Let's figure out the details of when we're going to go and how
we're going to pay for it tomorrow.” Hannah smiled. “Right now I just want to relax and
enjoy the idea. Why don't we hop on the Internet and look up some pictures of the Nether-
lands, just to see what we see? There's no point in sweating over details if we don't even
like what we find.”
Mark smiled to himself and thought that Hannah knew him pretty well. She knew he was
likely to get himself worked up over whether or not they could afford the trip before he knew
whether or not he wanted to go. She also knew that once he got worked up, he was likely to
say no without knowing what he was saying no to. “On the other hand,” Mark thought, “she
knows that if she can get me excited about the idea, I'll find a way to make it happen.” Mark
smiled and thought to himself, “Hannah's smart.”
“Okay, baby,” Mark said. “I'm almost done with the dishes. Go ahead and find some web-
sites, and I'll be there in a minute.”
“Deal,” Hannah replied as she hopped up and raced into their office. Once again Mark
thought, “What's gotten into her?” He hadn't seen her so excited in a while. But it was good
for him to see, and he had to admit that her excitement was starting to spread .
“Okay, sweetheart, I'm ready,” Mark said as he entered the office, holding two cups of
steaming tea. “And I made some chamomile tea for us to help us sleep later.”
“Great!” Hannah enthused without turning around. She had already been at the computer
for about ten minutes and seemed engrossed. “Check out what I found, Mark. It's a website
that claims to be able to help us learn Dutch. It's called the Pimsleur method. I checked out
the reviews on Amazon, and they were super!”
“Whoa, hold on,” Mark laughed. “I thought we were just going to look at pictures of the
Netherlands. I don't even know if I want to go there yet. And don't Dutch people usually
speak English anyway?”
