Alan: Of course there is.
Kate: I won’t have an abortion if that’s what you mean.
I might’ve agreed once but not now.
Alan: But how can we afford to keep a child? We can
hardly afford to keep ourselves.
Kate: Don’t be so ridiculous. I’m going to read the
pamphlet the doctor gave me. It’s calledBaby
Care. (Exit)
CHAPTER 8
Correction:
The government is planning a referendum about a common
currency. Neither the Labour nor the Conservative party has
spoken a great deal about it as there have been a lot of other
events to occupy their time. Recently they have been too
busy to talk to their constituents about it. Many MPs
have been abroad and each one has been on holiday from
Westminster. When they return, it is hoped they will hear
what the people are saying. Parliament is very different from
the parliament of two hundred years ago. Today it comprises
both men and women peers and they will attend the opening
of Parliament in November. They have to be present. They
cannot give reasons for not attending.
