I’ll dump the suitcases here.                   Gently.  They  are  not  made  of


                                                            iron.

            I’ve found a four leafed clover.  Show me.


            Have you finished?                              Practically.


            D’ you smoke?                                   I  do  sometimes.  (But  I  won’t


                                                            right now).


            What a nasty cold day!                          It’s  bitterly  cold.  (But  it’s  not


                                                            nasty).


            What a poky little house!                       It  isn’t  a  large  one.  (But  it’s

                                                            quite nice).


            Can I take this one?                            You can if you insist. (But the


                                                            other one’s better).


            Can I borrow your penknife?                     It’s not very sharp.


            Let me know tomorrow.                           I doubt whether I can give you


                                                            an answer by then.


            You are not trying.                             I most certainly am.


            We got here about midnight.                     I was earlier than that.


            Alen’s forgotten his umbrella.  He  always  leaves  something


                                                            behind.

            Let me have them by tonight.                    I beg your pardon. (But it’s out


                                                            of the question).


            What  did  you  think  of  the  I  wasn’t  exactly  sensational,


            lecture?                                        was it?
