II. DIALOGUE
Mrs. Jones: Good evening. I’m Ellen Jones. Won’t you come in?
(You give her a bouquet of fresh-cut flowers.)
Mrs. Jones: What lovely flowers! Thank you. I’ll call Michael. Please make yourself
at home.
(You sit down in the living room.)
Mr. Jones: Hello, I’m so glad to meet you. Stephanie told me so much about you.
You were her favorite, you know.
You: Yes. I’m sorry I didn’t get to see her again before she died.
(Mrs. Jones offers you a drink. You ask for a glass of wine.)
Mr. Jones: So, what brings you to Chicago?
You: Aunt Stephanie wanted me to know more about the city. I guess she lived a few
blocks from here.
Mrs. Jones: Yes, we became friends almost twenty years ago. She had moved
here from Washington.
You: And I guess she left Chicago five years later and moved to the West coast.
Mr. Jones: Chicago winters were too harsh for her. She wanted more sun and
warmer temperatures.
Mrs. Jones: Dinner is ready.
(The three of you go into the dining room and sit down for a delightful dinner.)
