5. Some very special drawings

In a shop in Camden Market, Natalie sees some drawings that catch her eye.

Natalie: I know these drawings! They are by Turner.

Alice: Who is Turner?

Natalie: William Turner was an English painter in the 18^th century. One of the most important painters in British history!

Alice: Are you sure that these drawings are by him?

Natalie: Yes, I’m sure. I studied them at university.

Alice: Do you think they are originals?

Natalie: I’m almost certain. They look like originals…. But I can’t believe it! What are they doing here? They only cost 100 pounds!

Alice: Should they be in a museum?

Natalie: Yes, they should be in a museum, a gallery or a collection.

Alice: What should we do?

Natalie: I don’t know. Should we ask the shop owner?

Alice: Yes, that’s a good idea.
