Mr. Dawson: How did you get here, Gabriel?
Gabriel: By car. You know, I drive, don't you?
Mr. Dawson: Oh, good. Do you find it difficult to drive in New York?
There's lots of traffic here.
Gabriel: Yes, but I'm accustomed to it now. I used to feel nervous
at first and was always afraid that someone was going to bump into me, but I've got over that now. I try not to drive in Manhattan though.
Mr. Dawson: Me neither. How do you find driving here compared with
driving in Europe?
Gabriel: It is practically the same. Of course, at first it seems more
difficult because of the traffic, but when you get used to it, it's all right. And if you go out of the city, you fell so relaxed at the wheel.
Mr. Dawson: What do you mean?
Gabriel: As soon as you leave the city and go north, for example,
you see almost no traffic at all. And the roads are good and well marked. And drivers are so polite.
Mr. Dawson: Have you been in an accident while you have been driving?
Gabriel: No, at least so far.
Mr. Dawson: Oh, good. I've been in a couple of accidents myself, but
they were not serious, thanks God, so I won't tell you about them. Let go to the dinning room. The dinner is ready.
