Using the Telephone
Charles: I don’t know how long this Power outage is going to last. Do you think we should call Elizabeth to tell her we’ll be late for dinner?
Jane: That’s a good idea. Do you know her Phone number offhand?
Charles: No, I don’t, and I can’t look it up in my Address book or in the Phone book without any lights. Oh, wait. I have it Programmed into my cell phone. I should be able to use Speed dial to call her. Oh, no.
Jane: What’s the matter?
Charles: My cell phone Battery is dead.
Jane: Maybe we can use the Landline to call Directory assistance. The Operator should be able to give us her number.
Charles: I doubt it. There must be more than one Elizabeth Bennett in our Area code.
Jane: You’re probably right, but I’ll try anyway. Where’s the phone? Oh, here it is. Why aren’t I getting a Dial tone?
Charles: Try listening through the Earpiece instead of the Mouthpiece.
Jane: Oh, right. How do I dial 411 if I can’t see the Keypad?
Charles: Hey, the power is back on!
Jane: Not a moment too soon!
