Williams, Emlyn, 1905-1987

"Night Must Fall : a Play in Three Acts"

..
I--I've only got two more verses----
MRS. BRAMSON: Hurry it up, dear. I don't want to wake up in the morning
with a nasty cold.
DAN (_reading slowly_): "... Therefore the ungodly shall not stand
in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous....
For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous ... But the way of the
ungodly ... shall perish ..."
_A pause. He shuts the Bible loudly, and lays it on the table._
MRS. BRAMSON _can hardly keep awake._
That's the end.
MRS. BRAMSON: Is it?... Ah, well, it's been a long day----
DAN: Are you quite comfortable?
MRS. BRAMSON: A bit achy. Glad to get to bed. Hope that woman's put my
bottle in all right. Bet she hasn't----
DAN: Sure you're comfortable? Wouldn't you like a cushion back of your
head?
MRS. BRAMSON: No, dear, just wheel me----
DAN (_rising_): I think you'll be more comfortable with a cushion.
(_Rising, humming_) "I'm a pretty little feller, everybody knows ...
dunno what to call me ..."
_He goes deliberately across, humming, and picks up a large black
cushion from the sofa.
