I was staying recently in rather a smart hotel in Melbourne, Australia. No sooner had I got into bed than I became aware of music coming from the room next to mine. I knocked quite gently on the partition wall in 1 to indicate that it was unacceptably loud. I walked out into the corridor to get the room number 2 telephoning the culprit. A sleepy Australian voice replied and I told him in no uncertain 3 that his music was disgracefully loud. After ten minutes the noise was 4 better. As I appeared to be getting 5 fast, in desperation I telephoned hotel security. Eventually, the hotel security men 6 up. They entered my room, walked to the side of the bed and pressed a knob. There was silence. 7 the time it had been nothing 8 than my own radio with its loudspeaker by the wall which had been the cause of the trouble.
