A: Excuse me, is there a (faster) way to get to Clovelly?

B: If you take that road, which is (narrower) than the others, it`s only 15 minutes` walk. That`s the (quickest) way.

A: Ah, thanks. We`ve been walking for 35 minutes and we thought we would get there (sooner). We can`t even see Clovelly yet.

B: It`s hidden by the trees, they are (taller) than the houses. You`ll like Clovelly. It`s one of the (most beautiful) villages in north Devon.

A: That`s what we`ve heard. It has some of the (prettiest) houses, hasn`t it?

B: Yes, and the (tastiest) fish you`ve ever eaten!

A: Thank you very much for your help. Bye.
