away and t hen came back a few minutes later.. 'Madam, Just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is a seat in the business class. 8 [: `& h2 X: T" O; y. R6 v
All the same, we still have one place in the first class.' Before the woman 3 x$ v8 f7 F1 H8 |- h; I' {
could say anything, the hostess continued: 'It is not Usual for our : K" P: e, ~4 h& ~. V/ e
company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first
