The Witness
Click on the loudspeaker in front of each line, and repeat as often as necessary.
Andrew Beckett, a brilliant and ambitious young lawyer, has just been fired from Wyant, Wheeler because he has AIDS. He goes to see Mr McDermott, a lawyer; to ask for help.
Mr McDermott was a , large man who had worked very hard to overcome his Irish-immigrant background
his office was elegantly decorated, Abstract Expressionist paintings hung on the walls,
and he was dressed immaculately, with a proper half inch of starched, snow-white cuffs showing beneath the sleeves of his custom-made dark blue suit
He knew Andrew by reputation, and he greeted him effusively
he assumed that Andrew wanted to talk to him about leaving Wyant, Wheeler for an early partnership with his firm, and it was something he was willing to consider seriously.
