It’s Who You Know

I thought this kind of thing only happened in stuffy American Gothic-type novels:

LADY’S VOICE

M~ & A~, good afternoon.

ME

Good afternoon. I’d like to make an appointment with Mr M~, please.

LADY’S VOICE

Are you an existing client?

ME

No.

LADY’S VOICE

I’m sorry, Mr M~ isn’t taking any new clients this year.

ME

Oh.

LADY’S VOICE

If you like, I could give you the name of –

ME

No, thank you, it’s okay. It’s just that F~ S~ referred me –

LADY’S VOICE

F~ S~?

ME

Yes, F~ said –

LADY’S VOICE

I’m sure Mr M~ would like to see you.  May I have your name, please?
