Mary (John's wife) Knocking on the door): May I come in?

John (sitting at his desk): Yes dear

Mary (enters the office with Gwen): I have hired a new housekeeper for us.

John: We have no need for a maid, but it is what it is.

Mary: I thank you for supporting my decision

John: You are welcome

Mary: I believe our new maid will help us a lot

John (shaking the maid's hand): My name is John Watson. What is your name?

The maid (shaking John's hand): My name is Gwendolyn. You can call me Gwen for short.

John (greatly concerned, he follows his wife): Mary

(Later on John discovers Mary has cancer and this is why she hired Gwendolyn).
