J:     Good morning, gentlemen. I’m happy to see you in London. My name is
       Jenkins.
S:     Pleased to meet you, Mr. Jenkins. My name is Semyonov, and this is
       Mr. Berezin, the head of our delegation.
J:     How do you do, Mr. Berezin?
B:     How do you do, Mr. Jenkins?
J:     I hope you had a good flight.
S:     Yes, we had a nice flight, though I was afraid there would be fog and we
       wouldn’t be able to land. But we got into London on schedule.
B:     Well, Mr. Jenkins, a good flight is a good way to begin business. We’d
       like to have a word with you about your offer for chemical equipment.
J:     I’m at your disposal as soon as you are through with the formalities.

R:* Good morning, gentlemen! You are Mr. Berezin and Mr. Semyonov from
       Russia? You booked rooms in our hotel, didn’t you?
