Grandmother Monologue from The Grandmother

From The Grandmother by Lajos Biro

female · contemplative · 57 sec

Exactly. The Disagreeable Young Man. Quite right. Here you were waiting and resting—now we want to allow a long time for it—three—let us say—three and a half hours. Grandmother (involuntarily). Not that long.... The Disagreeable Young Man. Oh, yes... let us... we'll then have reached half-past ten o'clock. It could not have been later when this forest bandit came. These pirates never go to their bed earlier. They shun light and must get their sleep while the world is the darkest. He could not sleep during the day even in the darkest forests. In short, then, it was half-past ten?
