[Q]: M: Yes, may I help you? M: This is Henry Jones in Room 742. I checked in about ten minutes ago. W: Ah, yes, Mr. Jones. How can I help you? M: The bathroom is in an absolutely terrible condition. When I tried the shower, no water came out at all. W: Oh, dear, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll have it fixed immediately. M: And that is not all. There is no soap, towel or toilet paper. W: I apologize for this, Mr. Jones. We're rather short staffed at present. The housekeeper should have checked your room. We'll attend to it as soon as possible. There's been a misunderstanding. M: That's all right. The most important thing is to fix it as soon as possible. What was said before this conversation?
