1. It’s funny that you should mention something like that, because it reminds me of a time when I got locked out of a house in Lucca., 5. Jess and I had just moved into an apartment on the outskirts of the old town., 2. I suppose you’d describe it as a medieval townhouse., 9. Anyway, if I recall it correctly it was the weekend of a big festival, so the city was very crowded., 16. Jess said to me ‘Let’s go and see what’s happening in the piazza.’ And I said, ‘That’s a great idea.’, 10. I just closed the front door when I thought ‘How strange, these don’t look like the correct keys.’, 3. Jess looked at me and said, ‘You haven’t just locked us out, have you?’ And I replied, ‘Oh dear, I may have, and I have no phone or money with me, do you?’ Then she replied, ‘No, I don’t.’, 13. We both thought ‘Oh dear, what shall we do? Where will we stay?’ and other things. We were in a total panic. Do you understand?, 4. Anyway, we looked for a locksmith’s, which we found after several hours. It was closed. By this time we thought we would have to sleep on the street., 6. Then Jess said, ‘Let’s go and see if someone in the Tourist Information Centre can help us.’ And I agreed., 15. So, we were in there for about an hour explaining our story to the staff, who all said, ‘Sorry, we can’t really help you.’, 7. Just as we were about to go a woman walked in to start her shift. She said, ‘What’s wrong, girls?’, 11. As we told her she said, ‘Which street did you say?’ And we replied, ‘Villa del Fosso.’ She responded ‘What number?’ And we told her ‘16.’, 14. She said, ‘How funny, I used to be in a relationship with someone who lived there. His name was Salvatore Lardieri.’ And we said, ‘That’s our landlord’s name.’, 8. So, the woman, whose name was Maria, phoned his parents to see if he could let us in. And as luck would have it he answered the phone!, 12. We were so relieved; it was an occasion I won’t forget for some time..
