Mrs. Day: In a few minutes we shall be running into the Gare de Lyons. I do hope that

the Crillon was able to find a room for us. I must say, Joan, that I have never been on a journey that has made me so tired. I have only one desire at the moment, and that is to lie down on my bed as soon as possible. Miss Day: Poor mother, you do look tired and worn out. Still, if there is no room for us at the Crillon, we should be able to get a room elsewhere, for I understand that Paris is just full of hotels. We are running into the station now. (A few seconds later.) Oh, mother, we are lucky; I have just seen a man with the name of our shipping company on his cap. If we're not able to get in at the Crillon, he'll know where to send us. (Galling to the man.) Hallo, hallo there! Will you give us some help, please?

Shipping company man: Why certainly, mademoiselle. What can I do for you?
Miss Day: Mother and I left one of your boats at Marseilles and are proceeding via Paris to England. We sent a wire from Marseilles to the Crillon, ordering a double-room. If we find the hotel is full up, perhaps you could recom- Full- up = mend another one to us. having no

Miss Day: I am Miss Day, and this is my mother, Mrs. Day. We sent you a wire from Marseilles, ordering a double-room.
Hotel clerk: Yes, mademoiselle, you are very lucky indeed. We were quite full up, but just before your telegram arrived, we received another from a client who was not able to come. It is only a single-room, but we have put in an extra bed for mademoiselle.
Miss Day: That is excellent. What is the number of the room?
Clerk: No. 342, mademoiselle. Here is the key, and I will get a porter to take your things up to your room. In the hotel bedroom.

Miss Day: Well, here we are, mother. Eve-

Turn out well = go well Catch = take

rything has turned out well. It could hardly be better. To-morrow you can go and sign those papers, and then we can catch the first train for England. Now that we're get-ting so near to England, I'm getting quite excited. It won't be very long before we're living in our own little house in the beautiful English countryside. I suggest that we wash and then go down to the restaurant for dinner. Mrs. Day: I hope you will forgive me, Joan, if I don't come to dinner with you.

I feel far too tired to eat and could not face all the people in the restaurant.
