| [01:15.87] |
The Clarkson family lived in the country near Cambridge, |
| [01:21.31] |
about half a mile from the nearest village and about a mile from the river |
| [01:28.35] |
They had a big, old house with a beautiful garden, a lot of flowers and many old trees |
| [01:41.20] |
One Thursday morning in July, Jackie came in from the garden |
| [01:49.29] |
She was a tall, fat woman, thirty years old |
| [01:54.31] |
It was the hottest day of the year, but she wore a warm brown skirt and yellow shirt |
| [02:02.52] |
She went into the kitchen to get a drink of water Just then the phone rang |
| [02:12.98] |
' Cambridge 1379,' Jackie said |
| [02:20.63] |
' Hello This is Diane I want to talk to Mother' |
| [02:27.53] |
' Mother isn' t here,' Jackie said' She' s at the doctor' s' |
| [02:33.12] |
' Why? What' s Wrong?' |
| [02:37.20] |
' Nothing' s wrong,' Jackie said' Why are you telephoning? |
| [02:43.61] |
You are going to come this weekend? Mother wants everyone to be here' |
| [02:50.19] |
' Yes, I want to come,' Diane said |
| [02:55.91] |
' I' m phoning because I have no money for the train ticket' |
| [03:01.44] |
' No money! Mother is always giving you money!' |
| [03:08.75] |
' This phone call is very expensive,' Diane said coldly |
| [03:14.76] |
' Tell Mother please I need the money' |
| [03:19.20] |
Jackie put the phone down |
| [03:23.10] |
She took a cigarette from her bag and began to smoke |
| [03:28.36] |
She felt angry because her sister always asked for money |
| [03:34.52] |
Diane was twenty years old, the youngest in the family |
| [03:42.97] |
She lived in London, in one room of a big house |
| [03:47.77] |
She wanted to be a singer She sang very well but she could never get work |
| [03:56.17] |
Jackie went back into the kitchen and began to make some sandwiches |
| [04:04.24] |
Just then the back door opened, and her mother came in |
| [04:09.70] |
' It' s very hot!' Molly said |
| [04:15.73] |
She took off her hat and put it down on the table |
| [04:20.77] |
She was a tall, dark woman with beautiful eyes |
| [04:27.19] |
Two big, black dogs came into the kitchen after her and ran across to her |
| [04:36.91] |
She sat down and put her hands on their heads |
| [04:41.44] |
Jackie put the sandwiches on the table |
| [04:45.76] |
' Mother,' she said,' Diane phoned She wants money for her train ticket' |
| [04:56.55] |
Molly closed her eyes for a minute |
| [05:00.24] |
Then she stood up |
| [05:03.20] |
' This afternoon I want you to get the house ready for the weekend,' she said |
| [05:11.59] |
' Oh, and please go to the village later and get my tablets' |
| [05:17.25] |
' Yes, Mother,' Jackie said |
| [05:22.36] |
Molly went to the door |
| [05:24.46] |
' Mother, please wait a minute,' Jackie said |
| [05:30.51] |
' Peter Hobbs came here this morning |
| [05:34.19] |
He' s very angry with you about that letter |
| [05:38.43] |
He lost his job, you know Why did you write to his office? |
| [05:46.54] |

| [05:51.07] |
' Well, I don' t want to talk to him,' Molly said She opened the door |
| [05:57.86] |
' But Mother, you don' t understand |
| [06:02.68] |
He' s seventeen, and it was his first job |
| [06:07.93] |
