28.That’s definitely his handwriting! It’s extraordinary, though, that he left it so long before contracting us.
29.Maybe he wasn’t able to contact anyone before now.
30.You mean he may have been in prison? God, that’s the last thing. I need right now.
31.Look Annie, obviously I’m dying to see Dad again, but, like, you know how easily
Juanita gets upset.
32.So look , would you mind just trying to keep me out of it, you know?
33.After all, it was you he wrote to, not me. I know that sounds awful, but…
34.You’re wasting your time , David. It doesn’t depend on me , does it? Look at what he says in the letter.
35.“For various obvious reasons. I can’t tell you in this letter how to get in touch with me.
36.but I’ll try and get a personal message to you or David in the next couple of weeks.”
37.Oh , no! Juanita’ll devoice me.
38.That wouldn’t be the end of the world , so long as she took the child and left you with
the money.
39.It would probably be the other way around. I need a drink how about coming to a bar with
me, Annie?
40.No thanks ,I’ve got to go to the travel agent.
41.What for?
42.Oh, I’m organizing a study tour of Albanian peasant communes.
43.God, that sounds really depressing! Well , we’ll be in touch, ok?
44.Sure, So long, David.
