The first meeting
Jill: So, Nancy, Fred tells me that you are a nurse.
Nancy: Actually, it runs in the family. My mother and grandmother were also nurses.
They are both retired now.
Ted: Did you grow up in Salisbury, Nancy?
Nancy: I spent my childhood in Brighton. And you?
Jill: For nine generations the Kingsley‘s have been involved in textiles in Salisbury
until now.
Nancy: That’s quite a history.
Ted: Yes, Fred is supposed to inherit the business someday.
Fred: Dad, could you please not bring that up right now, please?
Ted: I suppose it can wait. Yes, that seems to be a sore subject in this house.
Jill: So what is your family like? Have you got any brothers or sisters?
Nancy: Yes, I’ve got two brothers and one sister. The two men are older and my
sister is younger.

Nancy: My family believes that education is very important. We all went to university
or did further studies. Strangely enough, we all ended up in the health field.
Jill: Do you think the cuts in the health budget will even be worse?
Nancy: No, I don’t think so. They are certainly not getting any worse.
Ted: Fred told us a lot about you, but he didn’t tell us where you two met.
Fred: Nancy’s aunt and uncle introduced us at a picnic that they had last summer.
We started dating in autumn. Actually, I’ve asked Nancy to marry me.
Jill: Don’t you think this is a little bit rushed?
Nancy: I think that we are both ready.
Fred: We are both at a point in our lives where we are financially secure and looking
towards the future. Besides, the wedding wouldn’t be until spring next year.
