2. GWEN FIFE

RESUMEN

Kinsey fue a visitar a Charlie Scorsoni, el compañero de trabajo de Laurence. Ellos dos se conocieron en la universidad, pero luego tomaron caminos diferentes. Unos años después se volvieron a encontrar y abrieron juntos un bufete de abogados. Hablaron sobre la ex mujer de Laurence y de su antigua secretaria, Sharon Napier. Cuando Kinsey le preguntó si conocía a Libby Glass, éste dijo que no.

Después de visitar a Scorsoni, fue a la casa de Gwen Fife (la ex mujer). Su trabajo era lavar y peinar perros. Kinsey la entrevistó mientras ella trabajaba. La señora Fife la contó que Laurence fue un hombre difícil, con ella y con sus hijos. Mucha gente decía que estaba mejor muerto. También hablaron sobre sus hijos: Greg (que trabajaba en un barco) y Diane (que estudiaba el lenguaje de los signos). Colin era el hijo que tuvo Laurence con Nikki, era sordo y por ese se creía que fue la inspiración de Diane para estudiar.

La señora Fife ya no tenía más tiempo, pero Kinsey y ella quedaron después del trabajo para seguir hablando.

-------

Kinsey visited to Charlie Scorsoni, Laurence’s workmate. They knew each other in the college, but then they took different ways. A few years later, they med again and they started with the law firm. Kinsey and he talked about Laurence’s first wife (Gwen Fife) and Sharon Napier (Laurence’s secretary). When Kinsey asked him if he knew Libby Glass, Scorsoni thought for a moment and finally said no.

After this, Kinsey went to visit to Gwen Fife. She was a tall woman and her hair was brown. She worked with dogs (she wash them). Gwen said that Laurence he was a difficult man with her and their kinds. People said that it’s better that he was dead. They also talked about the kids: Greg (he worked in a boat) and Diane (she wanted to teach deaf children). Colin was the son that Nikki had with Laurence; he was deaf.

Gwen didn’t have more time, but Kinsey could wait her after her work.


ACTIVIDADES

1. How long have Charlie Scorsoni and John Powers been law partners? The secretary of Scorsoni, Ruth, told Kinsey that Charlie Scorsoni and John Powers were law partners since 7 years ago.

2. Kinsey asked Gwen which people were happy about Laurence’s death. “If you have an hour, I’ll give you a list”, Gwen said. What does Gwen mean? Gwen Fife said that Laurence wasn’t a good husband and father. Probably, everyone knew that he was difficult man, and the best thing could be that he was dead.
