BEST BROADCASTS OF 1938-39
Announcer. — We have seen
Nothing at all. We have heard nothing.
The town is very quiet and orderly.
They are flushing the cobblestones with water. The sidewalks are slippery with sun !
It smells of a summer morning anywhere :
It smells of seven o’clock in the morning in Any town they water dust in :
Towns are all the same in summer.
A man can remember the name of his own in Any city after the water carts.
First Girl. — Ah, the petticoat ! Look at the petticoat, Maudie !
Look at the petticoat, will you! Isn’t it hers?
Second Girl. — Who would wear it but her? But who? . . . who?
Third Girl. — Who but my mother !
First Girl. — Who but her mother!
Sound. — The girls' voices picked up a chanting heat which works into a kind of tuneless tune.
Second Girl. — Who but her mother, and where will she wear it to?
Third Girl. — Who will she show it to ?
First Girl. — Where will she go in it ?
Second Girl. — Where will she go in the silk of her petticoat ? Third Girl. — Who will she show the silk in her petticoat ? First Girl. — How would he know it was silk in her petticoat ? Second Girl. — How would he know . . .
Third Girl. — How would he know. . . .
Sound. — There is a shriek of laughter ... the chant and the words are repeated indistinguishahly under the announcer' s voice . . . they fade out to a murmur of voices.
Announcer. — We have seen; nothing and heard nothing.
If they left at dawn we should have heard them. It’s two hours now since dawn.
