I hear you've just come back from New York.0:08
How long did you stay there?0:11
I spent a month with my cousin.0:13
Actually, it wasn't New York where I stayed, but a small place not far from the Atlantic coast, where Grace, that is my cousin's name, had been advised to go for the benefit of her health.0:16
I didn't know you had a cousin.0:27
Actually, you've never mentioned it.0:28
My cousin is a difficult person.0:33
I think it's really because of poor health.0:35
But in my view, she is absolutely selfish, which doesn't make life easier.0:37
She wrote to my mother and asked her to send me to New York so that we could go to the seaside together.0:43
In my opinion, that was very nice of Grace to invite you to spend a month on the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean.0:50
She asked me to come not because she was fond of me or wanted me to have some fun, but because I could be useful in various ways.0:58
Mother thought it was necessary for me to go.1:06
She said we should help sick people and then asked me to be nice to Grace.1:09
You see, Grace is rather rich and as you know, we are not.1:13
But, Kate, it was a journey to America, as far as I know.1:19
You hadn't been there before, had you?1:23
No, that was my first journey there.1:26
Did you go by sea or by air?1:31
It is the fastest way to reach the States, isn't it?1:35
And also, I've never enjoyed travelling by ship, as I've always felt seasick.1:38
Voyages are not for me, you know.1:44
Did you enjoy staying on the coast?1:47
More than I had expected.1:49
I loved swimming in the ocean, sunbathing and fishing.1:51
Grace and I became good friends and spent a lot of time together.1:55
Are you planning to go there again?1:59
Grace has asked me to visit her for Christmas and I'd very much like to go.2:01
