41. The alleyway

Alice and Natalie follow the man in the hat into an alleyway in Camden Market. In the alleyway, there are three shops and they don’t know which one he has gone into. One is a watch shop, another is a furniture shop and the third is a bookshop.

Natalie: Where do you think he is?

Alice: He must be in one of these three shops. I am not sure which one he went into.

Natalie: Do you think he is in the watch shop?

Alice: No, I don’t think he is inside the watch shop.

Natalie: Maybe he went into the furniture shop….

Alice: I don’t think he’s there either.

Natalie: So he must be in the bookshop.

Alice: Yes…. I think that’s the most likely.

Natalie: Should we go inside and see?

Alice: Yes, let’s look for him!
