say, "I''m afraid you can''t. You see, I don''t have a telephone."
The usual reaction is astonishment: "How terribly inconvenient! How
can you(b)______ a telephone?" I find myself being stared at as an
eccentric, especially when somebody adds, "You can ring me up the,"

also because I find it inconvenient. It may create unnecessary
suspense and anxiety, as for example when you wait for an expected
call that doesn''t come; or irritating delay, when you keep ringing a
number that is always engaged.

remote controller gets buried under a pile of papers on my desk, and I
have to get out of my chair to turn on the television. I can''t stand
it when my flight to Los Angeles is delayed by half an hour or when
the fax machine in my district office is busy. what I never dreamed of
yesterday, I can''t (d)____ _____ today.
