Telephone Connection Difficulties

Doris：You’re late。

Leo：I’m sorry. It was too cold and my car couldn’t start. I had to warm it up in the garage with a heater. I tried to call you, but couldn’t get a connection。

Doris：Couldn’t get a connection?

Leo：Yes. Your number is out of service。

Doris：Really? I didn’t know. Let me check. You’re right。

Leo：So I couldn’t get through。

Doris：It’s a serious problem. I’m expecting an important call. The theater guild is supposed to call me this evening and discuss my play. What will happen if they can’t reach me?

Leo：Well, the only thing you can do is pay the fee to recover your service。
