Mrs Orr Monologue from The Americans

From The Americans by Edwin Davies Schoonmaker

female · contemplative · 47 sec

EGERTON: Sylvia----) Just now as the couple passed Practising, I overheard the girl, 'It almost seems the real pines are here Dropping their needles on us while we dance. As Lillian says, you feel them in your hair.' Now, to my way of thinking, it would be Far easier to hear the pine trees sigh Than feel the needles. (MRS. EGERTON: It was not the pines.) You said a sighing. (Mrs. Egerton says something to her) Why, Mary Egerton! How horrible!
