Judy: I’m Jerusha Abbot, but Judy in short. I have never heard that Julia has an uncle. It’s really surprising.

Pendleton: Oh, yes. How are you getting on here?

Pendleton: Do you read a lot?

Judy: Oh, yes, I read and read and read. One book isn’t enough, I have four going at once. My trustee wants me to become a writer, so my first poem “ From My Tower” appeared in the February Monthly.

Pendleton: What is your favorite book.

Judy: “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Bronte; she was quite young when she wrote it and I like this book very much.

Pendleton: It’s really a heavenly spot. All the shrubs are in blossom and the trees are the loveliest young green – even the old pines look fresh and green. I know above the moon to day. My soul wants to sing.

Judy: Are you good at singing?

Pendleton: Rather. I know a very beautiful song.

Judy: Will you sing it for me?

Звучит песня:

1. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine;

You make me happy when skies are grey.
You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you;
Please don’t take my sunshine away.

2. The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping,

I dreamed I held you in my arms,
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken,
So I hung my head and I cried,

3. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine;

You make me happy when skies are grey
You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you;
Please don’t take my sunshine away.
