Climbing down the side of the building is too risky, you think. One
slip, and . . . ! You wouldn't be much help to your uncle then. You
run down to the lobby and quickly explain the situation to the desk
clerk. "I told you that you should have kept the room you were
assigned," says the clerk smugly. "But if you are in need of
emergency assistance, I will do what I can." He picks up the hotel
phone and clicks for the operator. At that moment a policeman enters
the hotel lobby. The surprised clerk hangs up the phone and looks at
him openmouthed.
