Arm's distance.

Pleasure to finally meet you sir,
Yes, indeed, a very great pleasure.
I've heard so much about you sir,
I'm very good friends with your mother.
I do hope you had a good trip sir,
This is abominable weather,
But perhaps you took the other way sir,
I hear it's much, much better.
And how is your mother sir?
I heard that she had cancer.
yes, it's a terrible shame sir.
But she'll be well soon I'm sure.
Oh no, I couldn't do that sir.
I wouldn't want to be a bother.
