“I left’em talking about clothes again. You’d think a girl had never any clothes before she gets married. Women are potty about em”
Act 1
He could. He could have kept her on instead of throwing her out. I call it tough luck
Act 1
Why shouldn’t they try for higher wages? We try for the highest possible prices. And I don’t se why she should have been sacked just because she’d a bit more spirit than others. You said yourself she was a good worker. I’d have let her stay.
Act 1
I was in a state when a chap easily turns nasty … I threatened to make a row.
Act 2
I wasn’t in love with her or anything - but I liked her - she was pretty and a good sport.
Act 2
She didn’t want me to marry her. Said I didn’t love her - and all that. In a way , she treated me - as if I were a kid.
Act 2
Yes. That was the worst of all. She wouldn’t take any more, and she didn’t want to see me again.
Act 2
Then - you killed her. She came to you to protect me - and you turned her away - yes,and you killed her - and the child she’d have had too.
Act 2
Whats the use of talking about behaving sensibly. You’re beginning to pretend now now that nothing’s really happened at all. And I can’t see it like that. This girls still dead, isn’t she?
Act 3
The money’s not the important thig. It is what happened to the girl and what we did to her that matters. And I still feel the same about it, and that’s why I don’t feel like sitting down and having a nice cosy talk.
Act 3
