<11>-<13> I flew to San Francisco to take care of
some business with Mr. Jordan. But as soon as I arrived, I got sick and couldn't
meet with him. I had to call our appointment off. Then, when I felt better I
thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far away. I tried to
telephone him during office hours, but he was busy. The receptionist said that
Mr. Jordan would call me back, but he didn't. I gave up trying to make a new
appointment because it would take more time and effort than I wanted to spend. A
few days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr. Jordan, and I
called out to him. It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I
found a message, which said that Mr. Jordan had gone out of town on some sudden
unexpected business. I was sorry I had missed seeing him, but I really enjoyed
my Sightseeing in San Francisco.
