     Something might have come up.

Rose dropped a stack of plates on the floor because they were too slippery.  Her boss, Arthur, wasn't at all happy....
Arthur: What was that terrible noise?
Rose: I'm sorry.  I just dropped a stack of plates.
Arthur: Were you hurt?
Rose: Fortunately, no.  But I'm terribly sorry.
Arthur: I'm glad you're not hurt, but why did you drop the plates?
Rose: I couldn't help it. The plates were too greasy and slippery.
Arthur: You've got to be careful next time!
Rose: I will.  I will.  Trust me!
