Meeting a client at the airport

David was waiting near the arrival lounge at Heathrow’s1 Terminal One. He was waiting for a client who was coming* from Geneva. The loudspeaker crackled and he heard* a voice say: “British Airways announce the arrival of Flight One Oh Seven (107) from Geneva.” David started looking for his client. He knew* that the man would be wearing* a carnation in his button-hole, And carrying a copy of the “Sunday Times” under his arm. He caught* sight of2 the man, who was tall and grey-haired3 with long side-boards. He went forward4 and said: “You must be Mr Legarde? I’m David Wilson. How do you do?” They shook* hands. David picked up the man’s case and said: “Follow me, will you? My car is in the car park, it’s just outside.” When they were driving* towards London, David said: “I’ll take* you to your hotel first, then we’ll get some lunch.”

Mr Legarde replied: “Thank you. I’m staying at the Churchill. My secretary booked the room by telex.” At the hotel, the doorman took* Mr Legarde’s case and another servant parked the car. The two men went to the reception desk: “My name’s Legarde, I have a single5 room reserved.”Yes sir, room two three seven (237). The hall porter will show you up6.”		Встреча клиента в аэропорту

Дэвид ждал недалеко от зала прибытия самолетов в первом терминале в Хитроу. Он ждал клиента, который прилетал из Женевы. Громкоговоритель затрещал и послышался голос, произнесший: “Британские авиалинии объявляют прибытие рейса 107 из Женевы”. Дэвид начал искать своего клиента. Он знал, что у мужчины будет гвоздика в петлице, И под мышкой он будет нести экземпляр “Сандэй Тайме”. Он увидел мужчину, который был высокий, седой и с длинными бакенбардами.

Он подошел и спросил: “Вы, должно быть, мистер Легард. Я Дэвид Вилсон. Здравствуйте”. Они пожали друг другу руки. Дэвид взял чемодан мужчины и сказал: “Прошу идти за мной, хорошо? Мой автомобиль на стоянке, здесь снаружи”. Когда они ехали в сторону Лондона, Дэвид сказал: “Сначала я завезу вас в вашу гостиницу, а потом купим какой-нибудь ланч”. Мистер Легард ответил: “Спасибо. Я остановился в (гостинице) “Черчиль”. Моя секретарша забронировала комнату телефаксом”. В гостинице швейцар взял чемодан мистера Легарда, а другой служащий припарковал машину. Оба мужчины подошли к регистратуре: “Меня зовут Легард, мне забронирована одноместная комната”. “Да, сэр, комната двести тридцать семь. Швейцар из холла вас проводит”.
