| The American Inheritance 1.1.1 Kirree comes to the Isle of Man. Juan is at the airport. He’s waiting for Kirree. She’s coming from America. The people are coming from the plane. Juan has a notice: ‘Kirree Crennell’. Kirree:Are you Juan Kelly? Juan: Yes, I’m Juan Kelly. And you’re Kirree Crennell? Kirree:That’s right! Good morning! I like being in the Isle of Man. Juan: Good morning. I’m pleased to meet you. Juan and Kirree go to Douglas in Juan’s car. Kirree is staying with Juan and Ealee, his wife. The American Inheritance 1.1.2 Kirree goes into the house. She is tall and beautiful. She has black hair and brown eyes. Ealee greets her. Ealee:Welcome to the Isle of Man. How are you? Kirree:Fine, thanks. A bit tired. . Juan:No wonder. You had a long trip. Ealee:Would you like a drink? Kirree:No, thanks. Excuse me, but could I lie down? Juan:Certainly. Your room is upstairs. Ealee:I’ll show you. Ealee comes down from Kirree’s room. Ealee:That’s not very nice, going to bed now. Juan:But she came from America! Ealee:I know, but it’s a bit strange. Juan:She’s come to find relatives here. The American Inheritance 1.1.3 Ealee:I’m going to bed myself. Juan:How old is Kirree? Ealee:Twenty-five? Juan:I’d say she’s older than that. Thirty, maybe. Ealee:And where does she live in America? Juan:I thought you knew. In Cleveland, in the city itself. . Ealee:What sort of a place is it? Juan:It’s gone down hill. Ealee:Has Kirree got any brothers or sisters? Juan:One brother and two sisters, I think. I thought you were going to bed. Ealee:I’m going now. Juan:We’ll find out more in the morning. Ealee and Juan go to bed, even though it is quite early. |
