Read the below conversation.

W: When did you leave for Beijing last Sunday?

M: Oh, I planned to take the 8:50 train. But the manager phoned me at about 8:15 and asked me to deal with something urgent. When I finished it, it was already 9:50.

W: So you had to take the 10:30 train. Right?

What would the listener say?


M: Yes. But when I hurried to the railway station, I was told the train would be delayed for fifteen minutes.
