A Monologue for Me

Llinellau gan Geraldine (Cyfanswm: 66)

 
(0, 1) 194 The post, Mr. Branscombe.
 
(0, 1) 196 Rowland!
 
(0, 1) 209 It is dreadful to meet you like this.
 
(0, 1) 213 It would be better for you─to forget me.
 
(0, 1) 216 After what happened, I can never come back to you, never!
 
(0, 1) 219 You must know─you do know.
(0, 1) 220 Don't ask me to recall those days of shame!
 
(0, 1) 223 From my own lips?
(0, 1) 224 I wanted to tell you then─at the time─but I was afraid─afraid!
 
(0, 1) 226 I feared what you would think, feared that you would drive me from you; and I couldn't face that.
 
(0, 1) 230 I have told the truth to others.
(0, 1) 231 They said they would believe me.
(0, 1) 232 But, when they heard, they shook their heads, and I could see they condemned me in their hearts.
(0, 1) 233 I─I'm afraid to tell you─you would condemn me, too, and I─I couldn't bear it (sobs).
 
(0, 1) 239 Don't go, please don't go!
 
(0, 1) 242 The past is past.
(0, 1) 243 Words can't bring it back.
 
(0, 1) 249 It is for your sake I am siient.
 
(0, 1) 253 The truth?
 
(0, 1) 255 The truth?
(0, 1) 256 I─I can't remember.
(0, 1) 257 They confused me─frightened me─in the Police Court.
(0, 1) 258 I─I─
 
(0, 1) 264 They took me there.
(0, 1) 265 They said I was─was a thief.
 
(0, 1) 267 Oh─no─no!
(0, 1) 268 I didn't do it.
 
(0, 1) 270 I'm not guilty─indeed, indeed, I'm not.
 
(0, 1) 286 Yes, Mr. Branscombe has a right to know what I am.
(0, 1) 287 I forgot that.
(0, 1) 288 I had nowhere to go, no friends, after that day.
(0, 1) 289 I had to find work, or ask God to let me sleep.
 
(0, 1) 320 Some bank notes were missing from the safe.
(0, 1) 321 One of the missing notes and a skeleton key were found in my desk.
 
(0, 1) 325 They said I had opened the safe with the skeleton key, and stolen the notes.
(0, 1) 326 I denied it, but I was confused, contradicted myself, they said.
(0, 1) 327 Perhaps I did.
(0, 1) 328 It was all so horrible.
(0, 1) 329 I wanted to go home to tell you; but they took me to the Police Court.
(0, 1) 330 Was I guilty?
(0, 1) 331 I didn't know!
(0, 1) 332 I couldn't remember what I had done, my brain was in a whirl, I thought I should go mad!
 
(0, 1) 334 That night I slept in the cells.
(0, 1) 335 Slept!
 
(0, 1) 337 They sentenced me to three months' imprisonment.
(0, 1) 338 It was the end of my life.
(0, 1) 339 I was broken, broken! for all time dead to those I loved.
(0, 1) 340 At last my day of liberty came.
(0, 1) 341 Liberty!
(0, 1) 342 What a mockery it was!
(0, 1) 343 It gave me back to the world, a woman without a character, a thing to be jeered at and scorned.
 
(0, 1) 347 No, I couldn't face you.
(0, 1) 348 I saw you and was afraid.
(0, 1) 349 I waited until you had gone.
(0, 1) 350 A mist lay heavily on the moors, and I watched you drifting out of my life.
(0, 1) 351 I─I thought my heart would break.
 
(0, 1) 353 I loved you─loved you too much to bring a shadow into your life.
(0, 1) 354 That is all!
(0, 1) 355 Only indeed, indeed, I never did it.
 
(0, 1) 358 You believe that─after what I have told you?
 
(0, 1) 362 Oh, Rowland, if I had only known!
 
(0, 1) 366 Yes!
(0, 1) 367 (Sheds tears of happiness in MORLEY's arms.)
 
(0, 1) 397 Geraldine O'Connor, if you please.
 
(0, 1) 401 It would be guite convincing then, wouldn't it?
 
(0, 1) 409 It would be a pity to spoil such a splendid chance.
