— Why are you frowning? Are you frowning at me?

— No, no way! I’ve bought a pile of  books in Chemistry, but they don’t cover even one third of the necessary material!

— Nonsense, you are a just a genius for detail! Have a better look. By the way, where did you buy them?

— In a bookshop, but two of them are second-hand, not so expensive.

— Oh, then you really have a problem. When are you taking the finals? 

— In a week. I have to clench my fists and concentrate on work.

— Now, just listen to this, will you? – I’ve got an idea, ask Laura – she seems to like you and will lend you all the necessary textbooks. I think she won’t refuse.

— Do you really think so? There’s nothing for it but to ask Laura on your advice

— Good luck then!
