   Dialogue B

    (The Turn-down Service)

    A: Good evening, madam and sir. May I do the turn down service for you now?

    B: Oh, thank you. But you see, we are having some friends over. We're going to have a small party here in the room. Could you come back in three hours?

    A: Certainly, madam. I'll let the overnight staff know. They will come then.

    B: That's fine. Well, our friends seem to be a little late. Would you tidy up a bit the bathroom? I've just taken a bath and it is quite a mess now. Besides, please bring us a bottle of just boiled water. We'd treat our guests to typical Chinese tea.

    A: Yes, madam. I'll bring in some fresh towels together with the drinking water.

    B: OK.

    A: (Having done all on request) It's growing dark. Would you like me to draw the curtains for you, sir and madam?

    C: Why not? That would be so cozy.

    A: May I turn on the lights for you?

    C: Yes, please. I'd like to do some reading while waiting.

    A: Yes, sir. Is there anything I can do for you?

    C: No more. You're a smart girl indeed. Thank you very much.

    A: I'm always at your service. Goodbye, sir and madam, and do have a very pleasant evening.
