- Did you ring, sir?
- Yes, there's something wrong with the bath. It doesn't hold water. I also have some laundry here. Will you please take it?
- Certainly, sir. Pavlov: When can I have it back?
- Well, it depends on how many things you have got to wash.
- There are two shirts here, two pairs of socks.
- I think we can manage it by tomorrow morning.
- That's all right. Tomorrow suits me.
Unfortunately We Are Full
- Mr Phillips: Good morning. I'd like a double room with a bath.
- Reception Clerk: I'm very sorry, but we are full. With so many delegates arriving now to take part in the international congress, accommodation must be difficult at any hotel in town.
- Mr Phillips: What can you recommend?
- Reception Clerk: Well, there is a small private guest-house just round the corner You may try there. I'm very sorry, sir.
How Long Will You Stay?
- Desk-Clerk: May I ask you, Mr Pavlov, how many days you are planning to stay with us?
- Pavlov: I expect to stay for at least a week, probably more, until the eighteenth of June.
- Desk-Clerk: Very good, sir. Would you mind letting us know 3 the day before you leave the hotel? We can then have your bill ready for you.
- Pavlov: I'll let you know, to be sure.
