Упражнение 12. Выучите наизусть диалог.

• 
  Granny?
  
• 
  Yes, my dear?
  
• 
  How many brothers and sisters did you have?
  
• 
  Now let me see… there was … me, Alice, James, then Henry – that’s four, isn’t it? Then Robert and Emily, the twins – so that makes two sisters and three brothers.
  
• 
  What were they all alike? Did they look like you?
  
• 
  Well, some did and some didn’t. My sister Alice and I were very similar. People used to think we were the twins, but she was two years older than me. People said I was the prettier one – my sister Alice was so moody, she always looked miserable.
  
• 
  Who were you closest to?
  
• 
  Ah, my brother James. He was such a kind boy, always smiling and so gentle. We were inseparable, we went everywhere together.
  
• 
  Who did he look like?
  
• 
  Well, people said James had my mother’s features; the same nose, the same mouth, while Henry, who was older, was more like father.
  
• 
  What about the twins?
  
• 
  They were very plain, I seem to remember. When they were babies, no one could tell them apart, they were so similar. They both had long faces with high foreheads. Robert was very serious – I was quite afraid of him – but then he was so much older than me, we didn’t have much to do with each other.
