- And a return one?

- All right. What berth would you prefer?
- Upper one, please.
- That's unusual. Everybody asks for the lower berth.
- Of course, it is much more convenient, but there is always a lady or a child who needs a lower berth so I prefer an upper one.
AT THE STATION
- Here you are at last! I've been waiting for half an hour for you.
- I'm sorry, I'm late. But I was stuck in a traffic jam.
- Here's your ticket.
- Oh, thank you. Is it a through train?
- Yes. I'm glad we shan't have to change.
- Fine. When is it due in Edinburgh?
- According to the timetable we are due there at 9.15 a.m.
- And when is it leaving, by the way?
- Oh, in ten minutes. Come on or we'll miss it.
IN THE COMPARTMENT
- Well, we are moving at last. The train doesn't seem to be very crowded.
- Not as overcrowded as at the peak tourist time in summer. What berth do you prefer?
- The lower one, if it is O.K. with you.
- Sure. Shall I open the window? It's rather stuffy in here.
- Do, please.
