Division Time

It's a matter of lines

 

A person wrote his name and three of his friends.
The first friend drew three lines that separated each
person's name.

 

  • E r n e s t
  • E s t h e r
  • L e s t e r
  • T e r e s s a

 

One of the other two said,
that s/he could separate them with two lines.

 

Is it possible?
What proof do you have to support your answer?

 

  • E r n e s t
  • E s t h e r
  • L e s t e r
  • T e r e s s a

Enjoy!
