Molly: My dear Rose, are you feeling better? Is Bill capable of running the house on his own? Are you currently having guests in?
Rose: Hello dear Molly, I think I'm slightly better but have to stay in bed.
Rose: Bill manages to greet guests and little else unless I specifically ask him to do something.
Molly: It doesn't sound too good. Is he still weak after the biopsy?
Rose: Half the time he has consumed too much alcohol to be of any use.
Molly: Do you have guests regularly?
Rose: We are booked every weekend and an odd night during the week.
Molly: How do you manage all that?
Rose: I've a daily domestic helper on weekdays. I don't know what I would do without her.
Molly: Is she black?
Molly: I don't like it about Bill. He is slowly killing himself.
Rose: Yes she is. Of course he is and he doesn't care.
Molly: Truly horrible. I feel very sorry for you Rose. And for Bill.
Rose: Well... thank you.
Molly: I wish you plenty of strength.And now get well soon!
Rose: Thank you!
Rose is feeling a little better but she is still bedridden. Bill was weak because he had a biopsy. He is frequently inebriated and his health is in decline. Rose and Bill entertain guests each weekend and sometimes also during the week. They have a domestic helper, who is useful.
