Simple Sentence to Use at the Next Hotel You Stay In:
Calling the front desk, "Can you send a page right away, with the complementary towell, toothpaste, and bar of soap to room 212, thanks!"
Literary Context:
Pages swished quietly past the skirts and luggage of new arrivals. pg 91
Word Hunt:
Found the word in the book Loving Frank. I knew the meaning but I thought what if people only have the one meaning of the word page to mean parts of a book. Or a sheet of paper. The whole paragraph would be lost and look completely different, you would have floating sheets of paper quietly passing the skirts and luggage of new arrivals. I would want to know what was written on the sheets of paper. But this actually means that people with messages were running this way and that.
