"Hello Professor," he said happily, greeting her as he sat down next to Allie.

She spoke to the entire class in a voice weaker than normal, "I think we'll give your classmates just a bit more time before we begin. In the meantime, may I ask a favor of one or two of you? Can someone please help unload these two cardboard boxes of books onto the shelves. I'm feeling a bit weak today and probably shouldn't be lifting lots of heavy textx."
