Lesson 80 Carve Her Name With Pride (Ⅱ)
Vera Atkins: Oh, good afternoon. My name's Vera Atkins.
I'm looking for Mrs. Szabo.
Violette: Oh, that's me. Will you come in ?
Vera Atkins: Thank you. You don't know me, but I'm work ing in the same department as Mr. Potter.
Violette: Oh, would you come in here, please.
Vera Atkins: Thank you.
Mr. Potter got your letter. He just wanted me to see you to make sure that you understand the step you're taking.
Violette: Well, I've thought about it for two weeks and…
I know now it's the only thing I can do.
Vera Atkins: You realize your decision is entirely 1 voluntary 2.
No pressure will be used.
Violette: I still want to join.
Vera Atkins: Good.
Violette: Will you sit down ?
Vera Atkins: Thank you.
Oh, what a dear little girl. It's Tania, isn't it ?
Violette: Yes.
Vera Atkins: How old is she ?
Violette: Just over two.
Vera Atkins: And yet you still want to do this ?
Violette: My husband was killed fighting in the desert.
For his sake 3, I…I couldn't live the rest of my life…knowing I'd failed to do my bit. He never saw Tania. But I suppose in a way he was fighting for her. And now it's my turn.
Vera Atkins: You do realize it may end the same way for you?
Violette: Yes, I do realize that.
Vera Atkins: Right. The first thing to do is to get you into uniform. Then you won't be asked awkward 4 questions about what you're doing. You'll be commissioned as an officer in “Fannies.”
Can you start at once ?
Violette: Oh, yes, my mother will look after Tania.
Vera Atkins: Good.

Violette: Of course, Mum.
Hallo, darling. Did you have a nice walk?
Oh, this is my mother, Miss Atkins.
Vera Atkins: How do you do ?
Violette: And my father.
Vera Atkins: How do you do ?
Mr. Bushell: Pleased to meet you, Miss Atkins.
