Last autumn I spent a week at a big hotel in London, where every room is the same size and has the same furniture, and looks just like every other room.
One night, quite late, I got back to the hotel after a good 1 with some friends. I walked into the lift and 2 the button. When the lift stopped, I got out and walked to what I 3 was my room. When I opened the door I saw an 4 scene. A man pointed a 5 at a woman sitting in an armchair, and the woman was saying in a 6 voice, “Please don’t shoot me!” I turned 7 , ran along the corridor and 8 the stair---I daren’t wait for the lift ---and found the night porter in the hall. “Quick.” I cried, “Someone was murdered in my room”. Controlling his 9 he came back with me, but when we opened the door of 311, the room was 10 . the porter looked at me strangely, said, “I think, sir, you’d better 11 ,” and he left. I thought I must have drunk 12 much. I followed his 13 . At last, I thought I hadn’t heard a gun 1 4 . The next morning I made some inquires, and the explanation was really quite 15 . I went to Room411 on the floor 16 where a famous actor and his wife were studying 17 of a new play. When I told them that it was I who had 18 their room, they laughed and gave me a 19 to see the play on the 20 night.
