I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Harry worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back.Harry saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me.

"I have never borrowed any money from you," Harry said, "so now you can pay for my dinner!"
