- Now, Peter, suppose you tell us something about mens shops.
- Well, I often go to a mens outfitters when I want new gloves or ties, socks, handkerchiefs or shirts.
- What size do you take in hats, collars and gloves?
- You see, English sizes are not the same as most continental ones. I take size 7 in hats, 15 in collars, 8 in gloves and 8 in shoes.
- Very good. Now, Ann, can you tell us a little about your shopping?
- I went to Bond Street one day last week, I needed a pair of dancing shoes; my present ones are rather worn out. I saw a lovely pair of dancing shoes and tried them on. They pinched a bit in the toe, but the shop assistant said that they would stretch with wearing, so I bought them.
