"Mostly.  Me mum and dad are just fine.  Me older brother John took the queen's shillin' and joined the army.  His last letter came from India.  I don't know if you remember Ruth, my older sister?  Well, finally did what she said she would and ran off with her true love to Middlesboro' last year; 'eard n'er a word from 'er since.  Then there's baby Kate, still at home.  When I say baby, she's 14 now, but I just see her as younger.  So, that's them."
