It’s a quiet night for Alice at the hospital. She phones Helen for a chat.
| Helen: | Hello? |
| Alice: | Hi Helen. |
| Helen: | What’s up Alice? |
| Alice: | It’s so quiet at work I thought I’d give you a ring. A little bird told me that the landlord is your dad! |
| Helen: | How did you find out? |
| Alice: | Never mind about that. Why have you been keeping it a secret for so long? |
| Helen: | Well because as soon as people know how rich my parents are, they start treating me differently. When you and Tim came to live here I wanted to start afresh so I decided not to tell anyone. |
| Alice: | Oh Helen you’re such a silly goose! I promise, it won’t make any difference to us! So no more secrets OK? |
| Helen: | OK then. |
