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.
