Woman on Her Own, False Gods and The Red Robe / Three Plays By Brieux

by Eugène Brieux

Mouzon [writing] Mendione—"It is really too stupid to be forced to pay money to that old swine." Good! Good! Well?

Officer. I have another witness, Piarrech Artola.

Mouzon [writing] Piarrech Artola.

Officer. Etchepare told him, about two months ago, in speaking of old Goyetche, "It's more than one can stand—the Almighty's forgotten him."

Mouzon [writing] "The Almighty has forgotten him." Excellent. Is this all you can tell me?

Officer. Almost all.

Mouzon. At what date should Etchepare have made the next annual payment to old Goyetche?

Officer. A week after Ascension Day.

Mouzon. That is a week after the crime?

Officer. Yes, your worship.
