RECAP

Edith Russell was a passenger of the Titanic, she is speaking about the sinking. Her tone is relaxed, it’s surprising. At first, there were three bumps when she came to her room. Then, she put on a coat and went to the promenade deck. Later, she saw the iceberg and played with pieces of ice. At last she saw the police officer he said there was no problem, no danger, it was nothing at all. She didn't know it was going to sink.
