<p><b>A:</b> Hello. Matt Ellis speaking.</p>

              <p><b>B:</b> Hello, Dr. Ellis, my name's Pam Johnson. My roommate, 

                Janet Holms, wanted me to call you. </p>

              <p><b>A:</b> Janet Holms? Oh, that's right; she's in my Shakespearean 

                English class. Has anything happened to her?</p>

              <p><b>B:</b> Nothing, it's just that she submitted a job application 

                yesterday and the company asked her in for an interview today. 

                She's afraid she won't be able to attend your class this afternoon, 

                though. I'm calling to see if it would be okay if I gave you her 

                essay. Janet said it's due today.</p>

              <p><b>A:</b> Certainly, that would be fine. Uh, you can either drop 

                it off at my class or bring it to my office. </p>

              <p><b>B:</b> Would it be alright to come by your office around 4:00? 

                It's impossible to come any earlier because I have three classes 

                this afternoon.</p>

              <p><b>A:</b> Uh, I won't be here when you come; I'm supposed to 

                be at a meeting from 3 to 6, but how about leaving it with my 

                secretary? She usually stays until 5:00.</p>

              <p><b>B:</b> Fine; please tell her I'll be there at 4:00. And Dr. 

                Ellis, one more thing, could you tell me where your office is 

                located? Janet told me where your class is, but she didn't give 

                me directions to your office.</p>

              <p><b>A:</b> Well, I'm in Room 302 of the Gregory Building. I'll 

                tell my secretary to put the paper in my mail box, and I'll get 

                it when I return.</p>

              <p><b>B:</b> I sure appreciate it; Janet was worried about not getting 

                her paper in on time.</p>

              <p><b>A:</b> No problem. I'll look for Janet's paper later this 

                evening. Good-bye, Ms. Johnston.</p>

              <p><b>B:</b> Bye, Dr. Ellis. Thanks again.</p>

              <p><br>
