Faith Monologue from Windows

From Windows by John Galsworthy

female · melancholic · 1:08 min

At the corner out of the Regent. That's where we had our shop. I liked the hair-dressing. We had fun. Perhaps I've seen you before. Did you ever come in there? (JOHNNY: No.) I'd go back there; only they wouldn't take me--I'm too conspicuous now. (JOHNNY: I expect you're well out of that.) (With a sigh) But I did like it. I felt free. We had an hour off in the middle of the day; you could go where you liked; and then, after hours--I love the streets at night--all lighted. Olga--that's one of the other girls--and I used to walk about for hours. That's life! Fancy! I never saw a street for more than two years. Didn't you miss them in the war?
