Faith Monologue from Windows

From Windows by John Galsworthy

female · anguished · 45 sec

Ah! (Staring at him) I used to stand behind my door. I'd stand there sometimes I don't know how long. I'd listen and listen--the noises are all hollow in a prison. You'd think you'd get used to being shut up, but I never did. JOHNNY utters a deep grunt. It's awful the feeling you get here-so tight and chokey. People who are free don't know what it's like to be shut up. If I'd had a proper window even--When you can see things living, it makes you feel alive.
