Mr. Baldwin has been employing the speaker for 15 years. He may need their help again as he has been acting strangely lately. Mr. Baldwin is kind-hearted and his wife is pregnant. They live in a beautiful house away from the city. The speaker is the only one who works for them. They are not a typical family, but they are nice. The speaker will return to work on Monday as instructed by Mr. Baldwin. Ho! Ho! You mean Mr. Baldwin, right? Well, it's been quite a while, I must say. I believe I started working for him shortly after I turned 40. That makes it 15 years now, young lady. Oh, Howard. You can call me Howard. So, how did you meet Mr. Baldwin? Oh, I see. Well, he certainly needs such help. A man like him carries many burdens. Perhaps he will seek your assistance again. Well, it's not my place to say. He has been acting peculiar lately. Nothing to worry about, of course. A man of his caliber can handle much more. It's probably just work-related matters, I presume. Oh, no, no. That was just my mind wondering. I'm sure Mr. Baldwin simply wanted to share his happiness with you. He has a kind heart. His wife is seven months pregnant, I believe. And his, what do you call it, college? It's in excellent condition. It's a beautiful place. Oh, sanctuaried away from the stresses of the city. Look! There it is! That house over the hill. Isn't it lovely? Oh, no. That's just for Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin and their little boy. I'm the only one who comes up here to take Mr. Baldwin to the city when he needs me. Besides me, there's no one else working here. They manage all the household chores themselves. Well, if you ask me, they're not what you'd consider a typical family. Well, they have a way of doing things. But they're nice. They're very nice. My pleasure, Miss. Very well, Alicia. Have a great weekend, and I'll be back first thing on Monday morning. That's correct, Mr. Baldwin instructed me to take the entire weekend off. I assume you won't be needing my services until then? Until Monday, Alicia. Yeah! Yeah!
