PART I

Simon's birthday

I'm Carol Fenton. I'm Mrs. Hunt's sister. This evening my sister's family is coming to celebrate my nephew's birthday. I've planned a small party but Simon doesn't know about it yet. It's a surprise. I'm very excited. I haven't seen Sarah's family for five years. They've been in Geneva for three years and we've been in London for three years. My husband and I are from Bristol but we haven’t lived there for eight years. Many of our friends still live in Bristol. Next month we're going there to visit my husband's family. We're staying at his brother's house. All my relatives are going, too.
