Money is tight: free school meals and second-hand uniform, sentence 7

«It's pure dead brilliant, Dad!» (Glasgow for really brilliant.) Her friend Aimee sniffs, «Whit, a charity shop?» («Whit» is Scots for what.) A good find is a good find, and Aimee's sniff says more about Aimee than the dress.

Who acts: dress, friend, Whit, good find, sniff, Aimee · What happens: be, sniff, say · To what, where: Scots, good find, more · Speech: someone speaks here
