W:Hello, Mary Smith here.
Could I speak to Mr. Brown, please?
M:Speaking.
W:Oh, it’s you, Andrew, is it?
I didn’t recognize your voice.
Sounds as if you’re miles away.
M:Oh, hello, Mary. Yes, the line isn’t very good.
I’ll speak a bit louder. Is that any better?
W:Yes, that’s much better now.
Andrew, it looks as if I won’t be able to keep the appointment we made.
M:That was to be Friday, wasn’t it?
W:Yes, I’m so sorry.
This visitor I was actually expecting last week had some kind of change in his schedule,
and now he’s rung me up to say the only day he can come is next Friday.
M:I see.
W:And the trouble is, as he’s over from Argentina,
I can’t very well put him off. Hope you understand.
M:Well, I suppose so.
W:But could we meet on Saturday?
Or would you prefer the beginning of next week?
M:Afraid I’m tied up at the weekend. And…let me just check.
Tuesday would be all right, I think.
W:Tuesday is O.K. for me too. Could you come here at 11:30 as we’d arranged?
I’ll show you round our place, we could lunch together and work out the terms of our contract in the afternoon.
