Lesson 24
It could be worse
I entered the hotel manager"s office and sat down. (1)______________________. "I left the money in my room," I said, "and it"s not there now." (2)_______________________. "Everyone"s losing money these days," he said. (3)_______________________. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained $50. "I found this outside this gentleman"s room," she said. "Well," I said to the manager, "there is still some honesty in this world!"M: Mary, I hope you're packed and ready to leave.
W: Yes, I’m packed, but not quite ready. I can’t find my passport.
M: Your passport? That’s the one thing you mustn’t leave behind.
W: (1)__________________________.
M: Well, you have to find it at the airport. Come on, the taxi is waiting.
W: Did you say taxi? I thought we were going in your car.
M: Yes, well, I have planned to, but I’ll explain later. You’ve got to be there in an hour.
W: The plane doesn’t leave for two hours. Anyway, I’m ready to go now.
M: Now, you're taking just one case, is that right?
W: No, there is one in the hall as well.
M: Gosh, what a lot of stuff! (2)____________________.
W: Well, you can’t depend on the weather. It might be cold.
M: It’s never cold in Rome. Certainly not in May. Come on, we really must go.
W: Right, we're ready. We’ve got the bags, I’m sure there's no need to rush.
M: There is. I asked the taxi driver to wait two minutes, not twenty.
W: Look, I’m supposed to be going away to relax. You're making me nervous.
M: Well, I want you to relax on holiday, but you can’t relax yet.
W: OK, I promise not to relax, (3)____________________________.
