The proximity of university frightens me.

Proximity to...? And why, exactly?

Proximity as in time, dear sister. Because .. it is frightening, thinking of being so far from home for the first time. How do you do it?

You were always better with words than I am. New York is indeed much further than Oxford, so I can understand your concern. Fortunately it is easy for you to get into contact with us.

I know, but it will not the same! Being so far from everything and everyone. I was told that New York smells of - urine.

Oh please, Sybil. I've been to Manhattan loads of times and it does not smell like urine.

But being far from family may be difficult. I understand that. Fortunately, I am rather frequently in New York so I will be able to visit.

Really? So that strange man was lying to me when he said that! What an asburd thing to do. Why do you think he would say something like that if it weren't true?

*Her features brighten* Would you? Really?

No idea. I'm sure there are some places in New York that smell like urine, as there are some bad parts of London as well. I doubt that you'll be going to such places.

Of course. If I'm there, why wouldn't I come see you?

I do not intend to go, but one can never be certain. I hope I do not get lost too much.

I figured you would be busy with your job.

I certainly wouldn't be too busy to see you if we were in the same city.

Thank you! Do you have an idea of when you will be in New York?

Not offhand. Probably as we get closer to the fashion shows for the spring lines.

All right - that would be wonderful! It will be good to see you after I have settled in.
