From Love of One's Neighbor by Leonid Andreyev

male · comedic · 1:03 min

Do you mean to tell me it's genuine if it isn't stolen? Go on. Not much. Military Woman. Are all these your children? Tourist. Yes, madam. A father's duty. You see, they are protesting. It is the eternal conflict between fathers and children. Here is such a tragedy going on, such a heart-rending tragedy—Mary, you are blinking your eyes again. Military Woman. You are quite right. Children must be hardened to things. But why do you call this a terrible tragedy? Every roofer, when he falls, falls from a great height. But this here—what is it? A hundred, two hundred feet. I saw a man fall plumb from the sky.
