Jerry: Uh ... excuse me, Mr. Sherwin, but I was wondering if I could speak to you for a few minutes.

　　Sherwin: Well, I’m rather busy at the moment, Jerry. Is it urgent?

　　Jerry: Uh, yes, I ... I’m afraid it is. It’s a personal matter.

　　Sherwin: Oh, well, then, we’d better discuss it now. Sit down.

　　Jerry: Thank you. Uh ... you see, it’s about my wife. She ... uh ... well ... she...

　　Sherwin: Yes, go on, Jerry. I’m listening.

　　Jerry: She’s ill and has to go to hospital tomorrow. But we have a young baby, you know.

　　Sherwin: Yes, I know that, Jerry. You must be rather worried. Is it anything serious? Your wife’s illness, I mean?

　　Jerry: The doctors say it’s just a minor operation. But it has to be done as soon as possible. And ... well ... the problem is my daughter. The baby. That’s the problem.

　　Sherwin: In what way, Jerry? I’m not quite sure if I understand.

　　Jerry: Well, as I said, my wife’ll be in hospital for several days, so there’s nobody to look after her.

　　Sherwin: You mean, nobody to look after your daughter, is that it?

　　Jerry: Yes, exactly. Both our parents live rather far away, and ... and that’s why I’d like to have a few days off. From tomorrow.

　　Sherwin: I see. I think I understand now. You need a few days off to look after your daughter while your wife is in hospital.
