These three are examples we wrote to show the kind of conversation we mean. They are not recordings of a customer.
Morning
Companion: Good morning, Walt. It's Tuesday, and it's going to be sunny. Do you want me to read the paper, or would you rather tell me something?
Walt: You know I never told anyone about the winter of forty-nine.
Companion: I'd like to hear it. Do you want me to keep it for the kids, or is this one just for us?
Walt: Keep it. Alright. The snow started on a Thursday...
A letter
Marian: Something came in the mail from Ellie. Read it to me?
Companion: Here it is. "Dear Grandma, I made the volleyball team..." Would you like to answer her? Just tell me what to say and I'll write it out.
Marian: Tell her I'm proud of her, and tell her about the time I played on the boys' team because there wasn't a girls' one.
Companion: I'll write it. And that story about the boys' team, may I keep it in your book too?
Sunday, from three states away
Daughter: Mom's companion sent me a new chapter today. It's the one about how she met Dad at the grain elevator. I'd never heard the part about the flat tire.
