Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the corresponding questions:

Mrs. Pearson on right, and Mrs. Fitzgerald on the left, are sitting opposite each other at the small table, on which are two tea cups and saucers and the cards with which Mrs. Fitzgerald has been telling Mrs. Pearson’s fortune. Mrs. Pearson is a pleasant but worried-looking woman in her forties. Mrs. Fitzgerald is older, heavier, and has a strong and sinister personality. She is smoking. It is very important that these two should have sharply contrasting voices—Mrs. Pearson speaking in a light, flurried sort of tone, with a touch of suburban Cockney perhaps; and Mrs. Fitzgerald with a deep voice, rather Irish perhaps. Mrs. Fitzgerald said, “And that’s all I can tell you, Mrs. Pearson. Could be good fortune. Could be a bad one. It all depends on yourself now. Make up your mind— and there it is. “ Mrs. Pearson: Yes, thank you, Mrs. Fitzgerald.
