A2 LL - CORRECTED EXTRACT OF TRANSCRIPT

 I think this material has been published with an error. I've tried to correct it here.

The husband is reporting an incident to his wife in which he phones his aunt Kate. He asks her to check on his mother's house and take out the pie that he expects to be in the oven. He does this by recreating the conversation he had with his aunt Kate. He tells us directly what he said to her and what she said to him.
