Holly: Look, if you can't make it, at least have the decency to write the guy an email explaining why, because I'm tired of listening to him go on about how we're all doing badly...
Penelope: Well tell him I cannot send anything to him right now due to an extremely difficult situation that he will soon learn about, if he hasn't already.
Holly: why can't you send it to him via mail?
Penelope: ... because I am in a different country with no books, no laptop
Holly: no internet?
Holly: i know you're in Berlin, just send him an email
Holly: saying that you won't be here
Penelope: Ok.
Holly: thanks,  he was just really getting on my nerves.
Holly: And i hope things sort out well for you x
Penelope: Thanks.
