SCENE VIII—Act III.
UTILITARIAN.
Here the notes record that there had been a half-hour’s recess, during which Leo Bergin mentions that he enjoyed a pleasant chat with the poetess Vauline, that she was very charmingly inquisitive, and that while he confessed his lack of eloquence as compared with that of Oseba, he thought Zelania had lost nothing through his modesty.
Leo remarks that he showed the poetess many photos of the outer world, especially some fine ones of Zelania—among others, some of the leading statesmen and jurists—“all at the same sitting.”
But I will ring off Leo Bergin, and have Amoora Oseba continue his observations, as per Leo’s notes boiled down—by the fire of genius.
Mr. Oseba, on rising, is noted to have observed that men were human, to which I partially agree.
Taking from the immortal Robert as a text,
“Man’s inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn,”
