Secretary: I`m sorry, James is on the other line. Would you wait, please?
Barbara: Sure.
Secretary: I`m putting James on the line. Sorry to have kept you waiting so long.
Barbara: Thank you very much. Oh, telephone communication was knocked out. I try to dial again.
Somebody: Hello!
Barbara: Hello! I would like to speak to James.
Somebody: I`m afraid you have dialed the wrong number. There is no James here. What number are you calling?
Barbara: I was calling 777-888-999.
Somebody: This is 377-888-999. And there is nobody by name James here.
Barbara: I`m very sorry to bother you. I really have dialed a wrong number.
Somebody: It`s all right.
Barbara: 777-888-999. Hello.
James: James speaking.
Barbara: Hello, James, this is Barbara. I`m calling to invite you to a party next week. I and my sister Jane are going to make barbeque in the country. Jane hasn`t seen you since the last year. I think the party will be a good reason to get together again.
James: Sure! I`m looking forward to meeting you both. And what about Jane, could you give her my best regards, please?
Barbara: Of course I could. See you next week!
James: Goodbye!
