| The American Inheritance 10.1.1 At long last, Kirree is in the Records Office. An official there would like more information on the farm her people might have owned. Official: The farm might have been near to Ballaugh? Kirree: Yes. And it might have been owned by people called Crennell. Official: When was this, do you know? Kirree: Oh, between 1850 and 1890, perhaps. Official: This isn’t a small job I’m afraid. It could be quite expensive. that’s all right, is it? Kirree: Yes, certainly. How long will it take? Official: It’s difficult to say. Come back tomorrow. Kirree: All right. Goodbye now. Official: Goodbye. The American Inheritance 10.1.2 While Kirree was talking to the official, Ealee and Juan were waiting outside. Eallee:We should have gone in to make sure she’s really ooking for that farm. Juan:Maybe. That’s very strange about the passport. Ealee:Yes I’m convinced that- Here she is now… Kirree:That was OK. Maybe they can find something. Ealee:It’ll be difficult. You haven’t got much information. Juan: Anyway, let’s get a cup of coffee. They go to a café. The American Inheritance 10.1.3 In the café, Ealee wants to find out about Kirree’s passport. Ealee: Aren’t you worried about your passport? Kirree: Yes, a bit. But it’ll be all right in the end. Ealee: What’s at the bottom of it? Kirree: The Cleveland police think someone is impersonating me. Ealee: How do we know you are Kirree Crennell? Kirree: You have to believe me, that’s all! Ealee is very doubtful. |
