Frank: Oh, here it is ... Thank you, Nancy.... Now, Mr. Smirnov, you may have a look at the prices. The
total sum is three thousand pounds.
Ivan: I certainly admit it's a small order. Therefore I shall not mention discounts you usually grant us. But
don't take it as a precedent. When we make contracts in future we hope we shall have a certain discount off
