C：I would like to have it medium.

W：Medium.Certainly，ma'am？

C：All right.Very good，thank you.

C：This beef is very tender.I live in London.In London，there are very good restaurants specializing in roast beef.

W：Yes，I have heard of it.I've never been to England.But several years ago，I went to America.And I remember that I had very good roast beef in Los Angeles.

C：Do you remember the name of the restaurant？

W：Yes，I do.Lawry's.

C：Yes，that's right.I have been there once.Very good restaurant.

W：Yes，very good.I went to the restaurant by myself at night.At the entrance，I said to the manger that I came from Japan.The manager gave me a good seat.

As soon as a waitress showed me the menu，the manager put the small Japanese flag on my table-the rising flag.I was surprised.

C：Is that right？

W：Your roast beef is ready.Enjoy our roast beef，please.

C：Thank you.

W：Just a moment，please.I'll be back.I’ve to take care of another customer.One moment，please.

C：Yes，I'll wait.Thank you.

W：How do you find our roast beef，ma'am？

C：Hurm，very good.It's very good as well as I have ever had in London.

W：Thank you，ma'am.I’m very glad to hear it.

W：Well，I will tell you about the Lawry's in Los Angeles again.A gracious waitress spins the bowl of coud，crisp greens on a bed of crushed ice

and seasons it with a flourish-salt and pepper，and she dramatically pours French dressing from high over the mixing bow，tosses and dishes up the salad on chilled plate.

Then a gleaming stainless steel cart appears at my table and the chef-carver rolls back the lid to display three beautiful sevenbone prime ribs.

It was very fine service at Lawry's at that time.Still I remember.
