I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr. Jorden. But as soon as I arrived, I got sick and couldn ’ t meet with him. I had to call our appointment off. Then when I felt better, I thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far away. I tried to telephone him during office hours but he was busy. The receptionist said that Mr. Jarden would call me back. But he didn’t. I gave up trying to make a new appointment because it would take more time and effort than I wanted to spend. A few days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr. Jorden and I called out to him. It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a massage which said that Mr. Jarden had gone out of town for some sudden unexpected business. I was sorry I had missed seeing him. But I really enjoyed my sightseeing in San Francisco.
