Hale Monologue from Trifles

From Trifles by Susan Glaspell

female · dramatic · 1:28 min

She moved from that chair to this over here....... and just sat there with her hands held together and looking down. I got a feeling that I ought to make some conversation, so I said I had come in to see if John wanted to put in a telephone, and at that she started to laugh, and then she stopped and looked at me—scared. I dunno, maybe it wasn't scared. I wouldn't like to say it was. Soon Harry got back, and then Dr. Lloyd came, and you, Mr. Peters, and so I guess that's all I know that you don't. County Attorney. I guess we'll go upstairs first—and then out to the barn and around there. You're convinced that there was nothing important here—nothing that would point to any motive?
