"Isabel, this is Geoff Chaucer." [traffic sounds in background] "I'm out of town, and I don't think I'll make it in for class tomorrow. So I'm asking you to take up your TA duties, if you don't mind, and give the class lecture on Julius Caesar. Professor Lyman will be giving a guest lecture during fifth period, and he'll take care of the discussion. So all you need to do is present my part of the lecture once he's finished. My notes are in my office."
"I'm sorry about dropping this on you on such short notice. I really am not the sort of teacher who usually expects his assistants to do his work. And I promise this isn't going to become a regular thing. If you have any questions at all, call my cell phone, anytime."
