Good morning!
Can I speak to Miss Cooper please?
Would you hold on a second, please? Miss Cooper's extension is engaged.
Engaged. Oh, dear! Could you tell her it's a long-distance call?
I'm sorry, sir. I can't interrupt her. I'm sure she won't be very long.
How long do you think she'll be?
I really can't say how long she'll be.
Can I leave a message, please?
Yes, certainly.
Can you tell her I'm waiting to speak to her?
Yes, sir. I'll ring her on an inside line if you like.
Thank you very much.
