Перевести в косвенную речь a traveller, on arriving at a railway station, asked a local man: "well, my friend, as this is my first visit to your town, could you tell me how many hotels you have here? " l o c a l m a n : we have two. t r a v e l l e r : now, which of the two would you recommend? l o c a l m a n : well, frankly speaking, it's like this, sir: whichever one you go to, you'll be sorry you didn't go to the other.
