Edgar, your close friend, invites you to visit for tea, to discuss his new novel and listen to your advice. Having met you on the threshold of a rich mansion he escorted you to a spacious living room. All this time he was coughing, clutching a handkerchief in his palm..

"It's a pleasure to see you... cough Please, have a seat.."

He gestures for you to sit in an armchair by the fireplace.
