REPORTER
Thank you. I have a two-part question.

I’ve been instructed to refuse any further charges on your room account and to direct you in writing to please vacate the premises by the end of the month. Can you pay her in cash? They’ve been placed in storage. I’m sorry. Would you like to -- I’d be happy to make a reservation for you at another hotel. Frederick? All right. Everything seems to be in order. I’ll contact you in the next twenty-four hours. I’ll inform you of my decision at the appropriate time.
