       the neigbourhood. Do you have any suggestions?

 A:     I  know  this  really  nice  Italian  place. The  food  is
                                     ′
       fantastic,  and  the  decor  is  beautiful. I’d  recom-
        mend giving it a try.

 C:    Actually,  I’m not all that crazy about Italian food;
        I’m in the mood for something a bit lighter¹.

 A:     In that case, I know a great little bistro. They make
       a really tasty seafood² platter; the fish is outstand-
        ing.

 B:     It  sounds  fantastic, but  I’m  allergic  to  seafood,
       so. . .
 A:    Okay,  well,  let  me  think. . . Oh,  I  know  this  great
        little  place. It’s  just  a  hole  in  the  wall,  but  they
       do the most amazing sandwiches.  You gotta give them a try.

 C:     Ella,  you  took  me  there  last  time  I  visited,  and  I
       got food poisoning, remember?
