Question

Report the following conversation (in about 50 words): 3

Nora: Poor Christine, you are a widow.

Mrs. Linde: Yes; it is three years ago now.

Nora: Yes, I knew; I saw in the papers. I assure you, Christine, I meant ever so often to write to you at the

time, but I always put it off and something always prevented me.

Mrs. Linde: I quite understand, dear.

Nora: It was very bad of me, Christine. Poor thing, how you must have suffered. And he left you nothing?

Mrs. Linde: No.
