This Miss Helen. May I speak to Mr. Jackson?

Just a moment, please.

This is Mr. Jackson. What can I do for you, Miss Helen?

I'm supposed to preside over a round-table talk in the class

    tonight, but I'm sorry to tell you that I can't come.

What's the matter with you?

I have a fever. I must've caught cold. I've been in a bad shape   these days.

I'm sorry to hear that. You need a good rest, then.

Will you take the trouble to find someone else for the

    chairmanship?

I sure will. Please don't worry, and take good care of

    yourself.

Thank you very much, Sir.

Good-bye.
