| The American Inheritance 8.1.1 Kirree, Ealee and Juan come back from the swimming pool. Ealee doesn’t think much of the pool. Ealee: It costs too much to go in. And it’s incredibly noisy in there! Kirree: It costs more in Cleveland. And it’s always noisy in swimming pools. Ealee: I wouldn’t expect anything else from you! Kirree: Excuse me if I’ve made you mad. I was only saying what I was thinking. Ealee: I’m feeling a little tired. Juan: Would you like to have a rest? Ealee: I’d like to watch television. There’s a good play on. They watch television in an uncomfortable state. The American Inheritance 8.1.2 That night, Ealee utters her anger and suspicion. Ealee: I was really livid at that swimming pool. Juan: I know. But there’s no need to be like that. Ealee: What are you saying? Can I believe my ears? She comes here and wastes our time instead of doing what she ought to do. Juan: All right, we’ll make sure that she goes to the Records Office tomorrow. Ealee: I’ll pull her there with a rope! Anyway, how do we know she is Kirree Crennell? Juan: Oh, don’t say that! Of course she’s Kirree. Ealee: How do you know? Juan: She looks just like the photo they sent. Ealee: How do you know who sent it? Juan: This is mad! I’m going to bed. Lying in bed, Juan is not sure that it is Kirree Crennell. The American Inheritance 8.1.3 The following morning, Juan and Ealee are waiting for Kirree to appear. Someone knocks on the door. Juan goes to open it. There’s a man at the door. He looks official. Caller: Excuse me, Sir, but is a lady called Kirree Crennell living here? Juan: Er....yes. What do you want? Caller: I’m Inspector Jones, from the police. I’d like to have a chat with Kirree Crennell. He shows Juan his identification. Juan: Right, come in, please. They go into the house. |
