Hello, I am here.

Do come in, we have been expecting you.

Thank you, for being so kind.

‘Tis our pleasure, dear esteemed acquaintance.

Pardon? Am I mistaken or you know me not?

Come on in and take a rest.

Is this address not written upon the wall?

I swear, is it not 15B or am I in 15A?

Please, be still and settle down.

We’ll put on a kettle and wait for things to settle down.

Firstly, we ‘are’ 15B and we await a certain person.

Secondly, we have waited for long over an hour.

And finally, here we are in a puzzling confusion.

Whether or not we are who you think we are or who you are matters little now.

Uhm, all is good. Everything is calm.

Take rest and carry on, dear guest.
