Charles: I don’t know how long this power outage is going to last. Do you think we should call Elizabeth to tell her we’ll be late for dinner?



Jane: That’s a good idea. Do you know her phone number offhand 1?



Charles: No, I don’t, and I can’t look it up in my address book or in the phone book without any lights. Oh, wait. I have it programmed into my cell phone. I should be able to use speed dial to call her. Oh, no.



Jane: What’s the matter?



Charles: My cell phone battery is dead.



Jane: Maybe we can use the landline to call directory assistance. The operator should be able to give us her number.



Charles: I doubt it. There must be more than one Elizabeth Bennett in our area code.



Jane: You’re probably right, but I’ll try anyway. Where’s the phone? Oh, here it is. Why aren’t I getting a dial tone?



Charles: Try listening through the earpiece instead of the mouthpiece.



Jane: Oh, right. How do I dial 411 if I can’t see the keypad?



Charles: Hey, the power is back on!



Jane: Not a moment too soon!
