Grandmother Monologue from The Grandmother

From The Grandmother by Lajos Biro

female · contemplative · 1:07 min

No, she was not in this world yet. But a year later she was born. So your grandfather and I lived then in this little red-roofed house. Your grandfather used to be busy with the land the entire day. Those days I was taking on weight, and to reduce I would take long walks through the country. One day in October—in the afternoon—it was beautiful sunny autumn weather—as usual I went again on my long walk. The country there is very beautiful—all hills—covered with dense forests. This afternoon my way led into the famous forest of Friedrichsrode . When there I kept on walking—here and there I would stop to pick a flower. The Blond Young Lady. Don't forget, grandma, that it was quite late when you left your house.
