STUDENT : I want to return these four books.
COUNTER CLERK : But two of these were due on Monday. You're late by three days. I'm afraid you'll have to pay the fine.
STUDENT : Oh yes, I know that. But ... I was sick and have not been able to come to college these four days. You condone the delay under special circumstances, don't you? And my sickness is a special circumstance, isn't it?
COUNTER CLERK : Yes, it is. But you should talk to the librarian. My duty is just to charge the fine if it is due according to the rules.
STUDENT : Very well, I'll see the librarian. Meanwhile, please issue me with these two books. Oh, wait a minute. I want another book too. Let me go to the racks and find out that one also.
COUNTER CLERK : OK, I'll wait and lend you all the three together.
STUDENT (later) : Here's the book I wanted. Now please issue them.
COUNTER CLERK : Would you sign here, please? And here also?
STUDENT : Oh, I want to point out something. In this book, one page is missing. It's page 231. You can have a look.
COUNTER CLERK : My,* somebody has torn it away! How callous! ... I must stamp page 230 to indicate that page 231 has been torn out.
STUDENT : Is this necessary?
COUNTER CLERK : Yes, very necessary. Otherwise this may be blamed on you, or the next borrower after you.
STUDENT : Thanks very much.
COUNTER CLERK : That's all right.
