Heather: Who have you seen lately? What news have you heard?
Audrey: Chig, I was glad to see her. She sits there quietly. We all enjoy seeing her. Melissa, she is a real star. Little Hannah, she will be a great actress. They got her started at a good time. She is right on top of the work. She loves acting. And, of course, Emma is as beautiful as Hannah. Oh, I’m reading the book Emma that came all packaged up from you. Emma grows up in the book! I like all books. I haven’t read any books that I didn’t like. I see Amber often. She straightens out all my things. She keeps my fingernails all painted a light pink. The older I get, the better looking I get.
(Heather: No, Mother! The older you get, the more realistically you see yourself. You were always pretty, but just because you were a foot taller than your mother and sister, you thought you were ugly. Now it is fashionable to be tall!! That is the only difference.)
