Mrs Jones.    A parcel of mice! And a sack of snakes! And a box of bees!
              This is very surprising.
Mrs Smith.    It’s amazing. This isn’t a post office, Mrs Jones.
              It’s a zoo!

     A special washing machine / /
Mrs Marsh. Does this shop sell washing machines?
Mr Shaw.      Yes. This is the newest washing machine, madam.
Mrs Marsh. Is it Swedish?
Mr Shaw.      No, madam. It’s English.
Mrs Marsh. Please show me how it washes.
Mr Shaw.      Shall I give you a demonstration? Here are some sheets
              and shirts. You put them in the machine. You shut the
              door. And you push this button.
Mrs Marsh. The machine shouldn’t shake like that, should it?
Mr Shaw.      Washing machines always shake, madam. Ah! It’s
              finished now.
Mrs Marsh. But the sheets have shrunk, and so have the shirts.
Mr Shaw.      Do you wish to buy this machine, madam?
Mrs Marsh. I’m not sure.

     At the butcher’s shop /t /
Butcher.      Good morning, Mrs Church.
Mrs Church. Good morning, Mr Cheshire. I’d like some chops for
              the children’s lunch.
Butcher.      Chump chops or shoulder chops, Mrs Church?
Mrs Church. I’ll have four shoulder chops, and I want a small
              chicken.
Butcher.      Would you like to choose a chicken, Mrs Church?
Mrs Church. Which one is cheaper?
Butcher.      This one’s the cheapest. It’s a delicious chicken.
