| The American Inheritance 13.1.1 Ealee and Juan are at home. Kirree is upstairs. Juan:I told you she was all right. Ealee: You weren’t sure. Anyway, something strange is happening. Juan: You won’t be pleased until she’s back in Cleveland. Ealee: Maybe not. Kirree comes downstairs. Kirree: Excuse me, but are you on the Internet? I’d like to send an e-mail home. Ealee: No, we’re not on the Internet. Juan: We could go to the library. You could send e-mail from there. Kirree: If that’s too much trouble.. Juan: No, it’ll be all right. We can go shortly. Ealee: I’ll come too. I have to renew some books. The American Inheritance 13.1.2 At the library, Kirree pays to use a computer. Librarian: How much time do you want? An hour? Kirree: Oh, far less than that. Is that enough money? Librarian: Yes, thanks. The computers are over here. Kirree sits down to send her message. Kirree: I hope I’ve got the right address. Juan: I don’t know anything about this stuff. Will it be all right if I watch? Kirree: This is crazy, but computers make me shy! I don’t like people watching me. Juan: Never mind. I like looking at the books. Juan and Ealee look at books. Lots of books. Juan: She’s spending a lot of time sending that message. Ealee: That’s the way with computers. But I can’t believe she’s shy at any time! At long last, Kirree is finished. Kirree: I wasn’t used to the computer. I’m sorry to put you out, but could we go to a bank? Ealee: God forbid! |
