Ally: Please show me a really smart hat to go with this coat and skirt.
Shop assistant: Certainly, madam. Now here is a really chic little hat. Personally, I should call it exquisite. Will you try it on, madam? A little small in the head? We can alter it for you. Madam looks three years younger.
Ally: No, I don't like it very much. Haven't you something a little quieter - not so striking. There were some very pretty hats in the window.
Shop assistant: Now here is a lovely little hat, very quiet. Isn't that becoming?
Ally: I like it awfully. How much is it?
Shop assistant: Twenty-nine pounds, madam. A bargain.
