Mrs Johnstone Flashcards
Hello, Mrs Johnstone. How are you?
You what?
I’m sorry. Is there something wrong?
No, I just…I don’t usually have kids enquiring about my health. I’m…I’m all right. An’ how are you, Master Lyons.
Very well, thank you.
Yeh. You look it. Y’ look very well. Does your Mother look after you?
Of course.
Now listen Eddie, I told you not to come around here again.
I’m sorry, but I just wanted to see Mickey.
No. It’s best…if….
I won’t be coming here again. Ever. We’re moving. To the country.
Lucky you.
But I’d much rather live here.
Would you? When are y’ goin’?
Tomorrow.
Oh. So we really won’t see you again, eh…
(Mickey cries)
What’s up?
I don’t want to go. I want to stay here where my friends are…where Mickey is.
Come here.
No, listen listen, don’t be soft. You’ll probably love it in your new house. You’ll meets lots of new friends an’ in no time you’ll forget Mickey ever existed.
I won’t…I won’t. I’ll never forget.
Shush,shush. Listen, listen Eddie, here’s you want’ to stay here, an’ here’s me, I’ve been tryin’ to get out for years. We’re a right pair, aren’t we, you an’ me?
Why don’t you, Mrs Johnstone? Why don’t you buy a new house near us?
Just like that?
Yes, Yes.
‘Ey.
Yes.
Would you like a picture of Mickey, to take with you? So’s you could remember him?
Yes please.
See, look…there’s Mickey, there. He was just a young kid when that was taken.
And is that you, Mrs Johnstone?
(She nods)
Can I really have this?
Yeh. But keep it a secret, eh, Eddie? Just our secret, between you an’ me.
