A phone conservation from Donna Tartt's THE SECRET HISTORY 1992 ,,,
My voice was slurred and the operator wouldn’t give me the number of a taxi company. ‘You have to give me the name of a specific taxi service,’ she said. ‘We’re not allowed to-‘
‘I don’t know the name of a specific taxi service,’ I said thickly.’There’s not a phone book here.’
‘I’m sorry, sir, but we’re not allowed to-‘
‘Red Top?’ I said desperately, trying to guess at names, make them up, anything. ‘Yellow Top? Town Taxi? Checker?’
Finally I guess I got one right, or maybe she just felt sorry for me.’ Xd
