• T: Oh, it’s an absolute dream, madam. It’s set a hilltop with a big garden and a beautiful view out over the sea towards Naples. C1: It sounds as if you’ve been there.

C1: Mm, it does sound nice, yes. There is a maid or cleaner or something , is there?

• T: Oh, yes, madam, six days a week.

• C1: And how much would a smallish car cost? • T: On well for a …

• C1: You know, for a Metro or a Renault five or a Ford Fiesta, nothing grand.

• T: Ah, for a Fiesta, it would be about ￡80 a week.

inclusive, it would cost, mm, you’re five people ,let me see, um, ￡570 per person for the two weeks, including the return airfare.

• C1: Mm, well, it could be worse. Yes well, I’d really like to see some photographs of this place or something. Can you arrange that?

• C1: Oh, right. I’ll be … I’ll be in this afternoon. Thank you for your help.
