They are only afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30 and in the evening from 7:00 to 8:00, but remember that only two people can see you at the same time. M: I see. What other rules are there? W: Yes. We start pretty early. We wake you at 6 o'clock and breakfast is at 8 o'clock, lunch is at noon, there is tea at 3:30 and supper at 6 o'clock. M: Oh, that's very different from what I have been used to. You'd better tell me the rest of the rules here. W: Yes. Well, you can see the no smoking sign, we don't allow smoking in the wards, and the same goes for alcohol. However, if you do need to smoke, there are special lounges.

Q: Dialogue: W: I understand how you feel, sir. But there simply isn't any room. The person who received your reservation call must have forgotten to write it down. I'm afraid it was just a mistake.

I suggest you call them and explain the problem. I'm sure you'll find several other very good restaurants around here. M: I can't get in touch with them now. They are probably on their way at this very minute. Surely you could fit one more table in. W: Not unless you'd like me to put you in the hall, sir. M: Well, that's better than nothing.
