1. : Perhaps this pair will serve your purpose.

2. : These look good. In fact, they’re the best ones I’ve seen yet. They’re quite expensive, though. Frankly, I draw the line at spending much for gloves.

1. : Are you in a hurry for them? Can you wait a few days?

5. : I suppose so, but why?

A:. We’ve having a sale. Next week these gloves will be half price. Why don’t you wait?
