• Mr. Ernest Grainger : Don't worry about the length of the fingers, Sir. You'll find they'll ride up with wear. And I'm sure you'll find they'll give every satisfaction. Don't you agree, Mr. Humphries?

  Mr. Humphries : Oh, yes, Mr. Grainger. It's very difficult to distinguish that plastic imitation leatherette from the real imitation leatherette.

  Mr. Ernest Grainger : And you'll find that the lining will keep the hands wonderfully warm. Won't it, Mr. Humphries?

  Mr. Humphries : Warm as toast, Mr. Grainger.

  Mr. Lucas : Yes, of course. That's because it's made from real imitation, simulated nylon fur fabric, you see?

  Mr. Ernest Grainger : Thank you, Mr. Lucas.

  Mr. Humphries : I wore a pair of those myself last season, and I had quite a lot of satisfaction. Didn't I, Mr. Grainger?

  Mr. Ernest Grainger : I believe you did, Mr. Humphries.

  Mr. Lucas : During the freeze up last winter, you know, when I couldn't fill my hot water bottle, I wore a pair of those on my feet and I got a lot of satisfaction. Didn't I, Mr. Humphries?

  Mr. Humphries : What you say Mr. Lucas, has a distinct ring of truth about it, despite the fact that you've only been with us, two months.

  The Leatherette Gloves : As a matter of fact, they're for the wife's brother. I don't like him very much.

  Mr. Humphries : Well, in that case, Sir. You couldn't have made a better choice.
