  Lesson Twenty-one

Short Conversations

Read aloud the concersation two times, and then listen to the tape without looking at the text.

The Gold Watch Chain

Whittaker: The most beautiful gold watch chain she had ever seen was hanging up there in the display case. Just the perfect gift to buy for her guy, Guy. For a moment she was dumbstruck....

Madge: %*&$#@!

Whittaker: Then she turned to Morley and asked...

Madge: How much is that watch chain in the window?

Morley: The one hanging there on the nail 1?

Madge: Yes, how much is that watch chain in the window?

Morley: I don't think that watch chain's for sale. But I'll check!

Whittaker: Morley dashed  into the store...and came back in a flash!

Morley: My dad said that even though it's a priceless 2 heirloom...

Madge: Yes?

Morley: He'd be willing 3 to let it go...

Madge: Yes, yes?

Morely: For a mere 4 20 dollars.

Whittaker: Madge tried her best to be brave.

Madge: I don't suppose he'd take $1.87 now and the rest when we live happily ever after?

Morley: I don't think so.

Whittaker: But it was obvious to her now that it was time for drastic 5 action.
