A: Excuse me, have you got any laundry? The laundry maid is here to collect it.

B: Yes, I have. Here are my blouse, coats and stockings.

A: Anything else?

B: Oh, yes. My husband also has some laundry. This is his suit and here is his pajamas.

A: Are they to be dry-cleaned?

B: Oh, no. Only the suit and coat are to be dry-cleaned. I want to have my blouse tomorrow evening. I'd like to collar and cuff starched.

A: Yes, but not too stiff, right?

B: Exactly. Is it possible to have an overcoat dry-cleaned, too?

A: There are a few spots on it. I'm afraid you are not to have it tomorrow. Dry-cleaning usually takes three days.

B: Oh, no. I also need this tomorrow evening.

A: In that case, I suppose, I could ask the dry-cleaner to clean up those spots for the moment and have it well pressed. You might get it back on time then.

B: That's a good idea.

A: By the way, a button came off your shirt you gave me the day before yesterday.

B: Yes, I noticed it.

A: The laundry has sewed on a new button for you.

B: Oh, thanks a lot.

A: I'm afraid the new one is not exactly the same as the others.

B: Never mind. It doesn't matter.

A: If you have any more laundry, please just leave it in the laundry bag behind the bathroom door. The laundry maid comes to collect it every morning.
