Vocabulary 6 - C1

Herbert hummed happily, backing the family car out of the driveway. Margot, beside him, clutched her purse.
"Herbert, are you sure you have your license?" Margot asked, a familiar worry creasing her brow.
Herbert patted his pocket. "Of course, dear. Don't I always?"

They were heading to the annual Oakhaven bake-off. Herbert hoped to win the coveted 'presidential pastry' award – and, more importantly, the gift certificate to 'The Dog & Duck'.

At a four-way stop, a battered pickup truck sped through, ignoring the yield sign. Herbert slammed on the brakes.
"Honestly!" Margot exclaimed. "Some people!"

Later, amidst the tempting smells of pies and cakes, Herbert devoured a cream-filled donut. "Ah, this is the life!"
Laura approached, holding two plates. "Dad, Mom, I entered the environmental poster contest. Brian and I are hoping to win. The prizes are compost bins and reusable bags, respectively."

Herbert, mid-chew, nodded absently. His eyes were on two cakes: a chocolate fudge and a lemon drizzle.
"Which one looks more presidential?" he mumbled, more to himself than to Laura. He paused, considering, "The latter, I think."
Laura sighed. "Dad, focus! It's not about looking presidential. It's about… oh, never mind."
She walked away, shaking her head slightly.

Margot, watching the exchange, smiled wryly. "He tries, Laura. In his own… unique way."
Herbert, now contemplating a slice of cherry pie, just grinned.
