Receptionist: Just a moment … let me see.. .yes, we do.
Jean Douglas: And they have a view over the harbor, don’t they?
Receptionist: One of them is a side room, actually, but there is a balcony with a harbor view on one side.
Jean Douglas: Oh! Can you hold on a moment? One of the rooms has a balcony with a view over the harbor, Sean. What do you think?
Sean Douglas: Let’s go for it, shall we? … As long as they are still offering a discount.

Receptionist: Definitely, madam.
Jean Douglas: OK, can I make a firm reservation for those dates?
Receptionist: Of course, madam. I’ll just need to take some details … Can you let me have your full name and address? Oh, and I’ll need a deposit. Can you let me have your credit card details, too? … I’m speaking too fast, aren’t I?
Jean Douglas: Don’t worry, I’ve got it. Our surname is Douglas, D-O-U-G-L-A-S …
