But actually, I was wrong! I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man asked me if he could help me.

“Who is talking about marriage?” I thought. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”

“Oh!” he said, “there’s a phone downstairs.”

When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.
