[originaltext]W: I’m going away to the seaside for a few days and I’d like you

W: I’m going away to the seaside for a few days and I’d like you to keep an eye on my home while I’m away. I do not know whether you can help me with this. This really troubles me a lot.
M: Certainly, Madam. What’s your name and address?
W: The name’s Nicholas, and the address is 14 Spring Vale. What else do you need to know, sir?
M: Thank you. You’ll lock all the doors, and make sure all the windows are shut, won’t you?
W: Of course. I have done that.
M: And you’ll remember to cancel the milk.
W: Yes, I’ve already done that too
M: And the papers. You must cancel it too.
W: Yes. I have cancelled it.
M: And you won’t leave any ladders about, or it will be very dangerous for you.
W: No, we haven’t got a big ladder, even a small ladder.
M: That’s fine. Are you friendly with the people next door?
W: Yes, we are. We get along well with each other.
M: Well, I think you’d better tell them you’re going away, too. Ask them to give us a ring if they see or hear any- thing suspicious,
W: Yes, I will. I will give you a ring if I need, Thank you very, much for your help.
