Students may complete this dialogue how they like.
Possible answers:
SARAH: You said you had something to tell me, Rose.
What is it?
ROSE: I think you ought to know that Macon is seeing
another woman.
SARAH: Another woman? Oh. Who is she? How did he
meet her?
ROSE: Her name’s Muriel Pritchett. She’s the woman
who came to give training lessons to Edward.
SARAH: Yes, Macon mentioned those lessons. What’s
she like?
ROSE: Well, she’s not at all pretty. She’s very thin, has
frizzy black hair, and she wears some very strange
clothes.
SARAH: And what do Charles and Porter think of her?
ROSE: Charles says she’s not Macon’s type of woman.
And she can’t speak proper English, he says.
SARAH: In other words, none of you likes her. Is it
serious, this relationship? How often does Macon
see her?
ROSE: He’s moved into her house on Singleton Street,
Sarah. He’s living with her. And there’s something
else you ought to know too.
SARAH: Living with her? I see. And what’s this
‘something else’ I ought to know?
ROSE: This is going to be hard for you, Sarah. She’s got
a son, a little boy called Alexander.
SARAH: A little boy? Oh my God.
