At the Hotel

Clerk: Yes, sir. May I help you?

Tony: I have a reservation for tonight. Tony Davis.

Clerk: Just a moment, please, while I check. That is correct. You have a reservation for a three room suite for tonight.

Tony: I’m afraid there’s been a mistake. I only asked for a single room, not a suite.

Clerk: I’m sorry, Mr. Davis, but we have only the suite available. Your request arrived too late to reserve a single. There’s a large convention in town this week and we’re full up.

Tony: Well, if that’s the way it is, I’ll have to take it.

Clerk: Just sign the register here and I’ll have your bags sent up later. It’s suite 718.
