M: Well, we’re almost at your aunt and uncle’s house. I think this is their street…

W: Adrian, there’s something I should tell you about them.

M: What’s that, Diana? You look uncomfortable… Are they old-fashioned? It wouldn’t bother me at all.

W: It’s not that. And it’s mainly about Aunt Cindy. She has a doll collection.

M: Oh? That doesn’t sound too bad! I mean… What? Are they baby dolls?

W: No, they’re dolls that are valued very highly by collectors. She would never let me touch them… She wouldn’t even let her own children!

M: Is that what bothers you — that your aunt is so protective of them?

W: Umm, I don’t know. You’ll understand what I mean when you see them.

M: Oh, will she offer to show me her dolls?

W: She won’t have to. They’re all throughout the house. On the shelves, along the staircase…she even has some arranged at the dining table!

M: Where do your aunt and uncle eat, then?

W: They have to put away some of the dolls in order to sit down at the table.

M: Diana, this sounds unreal. Are you joking with me?

W: No, dear. I’m just warning you.
