Powerful,yes,but not always__6__.For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone.Rani,my faceless agent whom I'd never met__7__,got me rockbottom prices on airfares,cars,and hotels.But her cold voice really__8__me.I sometimes wished to__9__another agent.

Rushing out __15__ I called out over my shoulder,“By the way,what's your name?” “I'm Rani,” she said.I turned around and saw a__16__woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip.I was__17__!Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was,well,so__18__.
