69. Excuse me, I’m looking for a Mr. Gusper.
70. At your service.
71. It’s very urgent. I’ve got to find him immediately.
72. Find whom?
73. Mr. Gusper. I believe he’s staying here.
74. It’s perfectly possible, sir. Many people are staying in this hotel. Let me look in the register. Can I have your friend’s name, please?
75. I’ve just said “Mr. Gusper”, spelled G-U-S-P-E-R.
76. Let me see. Yes, he checked in today.
77. Good. Well, can I speak to him then?
78. What is your name, please, sir?
79. Er…Er…John Smith.
80. Do you spell that with an “I” or ”ay”, Mr. Smith?
81. Er, with an ”I”. Look, it doesn’t matter. Please, can you just call his room?
82. Smith with an ”I”. I’m afraid Mr. Gusper isn’t in his room at the moment. He’s gone out to lunch.
83. What?
84. A young lady came to collect him about five minutes ago. You’ve just missed him, I’m afraid.
