Mme X Monologue from THE STRONGER

From THE STRONGER by AUGUST STRINDBERG

female · melancholic · 50 sec

Do you know it really hurts me to see you like this, alone, in a cafe, and on Christmas eve, too. It makes me feel as I did one time when I saw a bridal party in a Paris restaurant, and the bride sat reading a comic paper, while the groom played billiards with the witnesses. Huh, thought I, with such a beginning, what will follow, and what will be the end? He played billiards on his wedding eve! . And she read a comic paper, you mean? Well, they are not altogether the same thing.
