1a Read and listen to the story.
Who are these people? - Beatrix - Fiona - Michael - Daniel
1b Which of the people are in the pictures?

My name's Beatrix and I'm from the USA. Four years ago we were on holiday in Ireland. We were staying at a beautiful old hotel.
On the first afternoon, my husband and our two children were playing tennis, but I was having a rest in our room. I ordered some tea from the restaurant. While I was waiting for the tea, I looked out of the window. I saw an old man in the middle of the garden. He was wearing a jacket and a black hat and he was digging.
While I was watching the man, someone knocked at the door. I opened the door and Daniel, a young waiter, came in with my tea.
I looked out of the window again but the old man wasn't there.
'The garden's beautiful,' I said. 'How many gardeners have you got here?' 'Just one,' said Daniel, 'But she isn't here today.' 'She?' I said.
'But I was watching your gardener when you knocked at the door.
He was an old man.' 'No,' he said. 'Our gardener's a young woman. Her name's Fiona.'
Later, we were going to the restaurant for dinner. We were walking along a corridor. There were some old photographs on the walls.
When I saw one of the photographs, I stopped. It was the old man in the garden. Just then Daniel came out of the restaurant.
While he was walking past us, I pointed to the photograph and I said, 'That's the old man in the garden. He was wearing that jacket and hat.'
'That's impossible!' said Daniel. 'That's Michael. He was the gardener here, but he died fifty years ago!'
