A translation
Hello,
Could you please correct my translation?
"Would you like to come in please?
'Yes, thank you. I am very pleased to meet you and your husband. I patrol streets every evening. In case of need you can address me anytime.
'Thank you. I think I will avail myself of your help/offer right now. I have to go to the drugstore, but our car is at the workshop truck at the moment.
'I will be glad to give you a lift, ma'am.'
'Thank you. I will just tell my husband and come down in a minute.'
"Now we can leave.'
'Don't stay too long darling-they heard Nick's voice.'
"I will come soon, Nick. Come on inspector. I have to go to the bank too.'
"Don't worry ma'am. I will wait for you there and and then drive you back home. I doubt wheather anyone will agree to take you back . It's too late now and your house is too far from the center."
"I do hate to bother you inspector Adams.'
"it's all right ma'am.
