W: (8)I’m sorry, but I can’t let you check out these books.

M: But that’s impossible. I only started going to this school last month and I’m a business major, not an artist.
W: Oh. This is pretty strange. Let me look out the records. OK. You are Richard Smith?
M: Yeah.
W: You live at fifty thirty-three western?
M: No, I am living on campus, in the new...
W: You did say you are Richard Smith, right?
M: Yeah, well my full name is Richard James Smith, but I usually go by Richard Smith.

M: Another Richard Smith? No kidding.
W: So I guess you two never met.

W: Good idea. Now I’ll let you check out these books today. (11)But I suggest you start using your middle name, or mid initial to avoid any problem like this in the future.
