A man asks a hotel clerk for a room on the 19th floor.

He had not been observed to speak to anyone except the hotel clerk.

One day, the hotel clerk stopped me in the lobby.

In another minute, he was talking with the hotel clerk.

At 4:20, a hotel clerk told us our room would not be ready for 10 minutes more.

His eyes flashed to the face of the hotel clerk.

This is however noticed by one of the hotel clerks.

A hotel clerk finally appeared, looking surprised to see someone at this hour.

At least I think we have, because the hotel clerk did it for us.

A way with hotel clerks and high school teachers alike.
