Mrs. Simmonds : If I'm not mistaken, you're the gentleman who told me I was pompous and overbearing and unfit to run an establishment "such as this".
Don : Oh dear?

Mrs. Simmonds : This shop is *closed*

Don : Um, I have a problem, you see I was wondering if you might help me... Among the pile of clothes I gave you this morning, there was a pair of trousers.
Mrs. Simmonds : There were *several* pairs of trousers
Don : But these are rather special and it's important that I get them back.
Mrs. Simmonds : Really?
Don : Yes, um, *vitally* important.
Mrs. Simmonds : In your line of work- Headmaster, I don't suppose you ever have to, how should I put it? Make *deeply* earnest requests?
Don : You mean grovel?
Mrs. Simmonds : Yes.
Don : No I don't, but I'm always willing to learn.
Mrs. Simmonds : [smile creeping across her face] Splendid.
