| The American Inheritance 7.1.1 The following day, Juan suggests they go to the Records Office. For some reason, Kirree is not keen. . Juan:We could go this morning. Ealee: Yes, that’s a good idea. Kirree: Can’t we go another day? I shouldn’t make you go to a boring place like that. Ealee: It’s not boring there. Juan: What else would you like to do? Kirree: What do people do in their leisure time here? Ealee: Lots of things! Football, sailing, shooting, cinema, theatre.... Kirree: My word, I’m getting tired! What do you like doing? Juan: Walking, cycling, reading books. We go swimming occasionally. Kirree: I like swimming. Could we go swimming today? Juan: I think we could... Kirree: Excellent! I’ll be ready in a minute. Kirree goes upstairs. The American Inheritance 7.1.2 Ealee is angry. She complains to Juan while Kirree is upstairs. Ealee: Going swimming? It’s ridiculous! You know I don’t like it really! Juan: I’m sorry. But she’s a guest and I thought we’d better go. Ealee: She’s a strange guest! She’ll be directing the house before long. Juan: Would you like to stay here while we go swimming? Ealee: Don’t be joking! I’ll come to keep an eye on you! Juan: What do you mean? Ealee: I’m only joking. I want to find out why she doesn’t want to go to the Records Office. Juan: Time enough - be careful, she’s coming down. In silence, they go to the swimming pool. The American Inheritance 7.1.3 Juan pays for them to go swimming. Kirree: It’s cheap enough.. and what a great pool! Ealee: It was terribly expensive to build. Juan: I’ll see you in the pool. They get changed and go into the pool. Ealee doesn’t like the way the men are staring at Kirree. Ealee: (in a whisper)Bringing a swimming costume to the Isle of Man! Juan: Be careful..she’ll hear. They swim around with Ealee becoming more angry. |
