AM: Really? Mother, could you fix these flowers for me? CM: Yes. Yes. EC: As a matter of fact, I've been in to see you almost every day. AM: You have? EC: A couple of times, I started to read to you. I thought you might recognize my voice. AM: That was very sweet of you. What did you read? CM: Great Expectations. He knew it was your favorite book. AM: Did I tell you that? EC: Yes, you mentioned it once. EC: Oh, I think I had better get a vase. CM: I can . . . EC: No. No. No. That's all right I'll do it.
