BEST BROADCASTS OF 1938-39 Women’s skirts in the court: Women’s arms in the windows: Women’s talk on the stair. . . . They lean there careless and talking : Their shawls are bright in the doors : The morning air’s in their aprons : They shape their hair with their hands : They stand there softly and simply. {Pause) The women lean from the stairs. First Woman Sillier, too! Third Woman Stupider ! Second Woman Lord, I was almost frightened, though ! Third Woman Almost ! Almost, does she say! Second Woman The men ! The men 1 The great big babies that they are! The children! Third Woman. — They’re always waking us up for a war somewhere. Get up! They say. We’re at war. Fourth Woman. — It’s no news Thousands of years they’ve been saying it. First Woman. — Crazy government: Can’t they run the country decent and quiet till Eight in the morning even ? The rest of the day They can rule as loud as they like and as long as they mind to. They can do what they want with the country from eight on. Only till eight if they’d wait for the difficult sleepers . . . Those that coimt their heartbeats every hour. Second Woman A woman’s got no time to watch the wars. . . . Scrubbing the kitchen Tuesdays : marrying Mondays. Bearing and burying . . . men to be bom and to bury. People dying never died before. Sound. — Police whistle distant . . . distant men's voices . . . excited. First Man Air raid. Second Man Air raid. 536
