Dialogue
It's Saturday and Mrs Smith has gone shopping with her daughter Lucy for a new dress in the sales:-
| Lucy: | Well mum, what do you think? |
| Mrs Smith: | Mmm, it's nice, but I think you need a slightly bigger size. The top is gaping. |
| Lucy: | I think this is the only one. |
| Mrs Smith: | I'd better ask an assistant. Excuse me. Do you have this in a size 12? |
| Shop assistant: | I'm afraid everything in the sale is out on display. |
| Mrs Smith: | Oh dear. It's just a bit too tight. |
| Shop assistant: | I think we have a size 12, in red. |
| Lucy: | Oh no. Red's just not my colour. |
| Shop assistant: | It's not bright red, it's a nice dark red. Here it is. Why don't you try it on? There's a changing room free over there. |
| Later... | |
| Lucy: | It fits like a glove. What do you think Mum? |
| Mrs Smith: | It looks really nice. I guess red suits you after all. |
