  Lesson Six

Short Conversations

The Mystery Benefactor 1

Blackard: Whit 2, we're broke. We're on the verge 3 of going out of business. But someone promised us a lot of money to do this class, and we think it's someone connected with the class. But we don't know who! So...

Whittaker: So you don't want to offend anyone, just in case. And that's why you're doing this program.

Blackard: Exactly.

Whittaker: Oh, that certainly explains a lot. I'm glad to know that it's only a problem with judgment7.

Blackard: Judgment 4?

Whittaker: Well, if you want my humble 5 opinion...

Blackard: Oh, yes, yes.

Whittaker: ... you've put yourself in an impossible position.

Blackard: I know, I know.

Whittaker: Not only are you trying to please everyone in the entire class, but you've let money become the center of your thinking!

Blackard: But we're going broke, Whit! I had to do something!

Whittaker: But is this the best thing to do? I'm sure whoever gave you the money wanted you to be less concerned about offending your students than to guide and instruct them, so they'd be good at acting 6.

Blackard: And if they aren't very good?

Whittaker: Then it's better to be truthful 7 and help them understand that.
