I left my name and number with a request to have him get back to me.

"Such things have nothing to do with the request I am making."

The next day but one, she came again with the same request.

Have you got to be more specific with your requests?

You will be asked to call back after this time in order to continue with your request.

When she says no, he turns to his father with the same request.

There was nothing wrong with his request on the face of it.

"Couldn't he have walked into two different places with the same request?"

At 5:30, she left only her name with a request that I call.

She was used to helping with such requests and come forward at once when asked.
