Lesson 77. Terrible toothache

Listen to the tape, then answer this question. What time of day is it, do you think?

How do you know? Good morning, Mr. Croft. Good morning, nurse. I want to see the dentist, please.

Do you have an appointment? No, I don't. Is it urgent? Yes, it is.

It's very urgent. I feel awful. I have a terrible toothache. Can you come at 10 a.m. on Monday, April the 24th?

I must see the dentist now, nurse. The dentist is very busy at the moment. Can you come at 2 p.m.? That's very late.

Can the dentist see me now? I'm afraid that he can't, Mr. Croft. Can't you wait till this afternoon? I can wait, but my toothache can't.
