Stephen Sondheim First Letter
[GIORGIO]
Clara...
[CLARA]
Clara...
[GIORGIO]
I cried
[CLARA]
I cried
[CLARA & GIORGIO]
Imagine that, a soldier who cries
[CLARA]
I had to hide my eyes, so the others on the train
That carried me away from you would think I was asleep
[GIORGIO, spoken]
Music?
[DOCTOR, spoken]
That's Signora Fosca playing
[COLONEL, spoken]
My cousin. She is in such poor health, it's a continual worry
[DOCTOR, spoken]
She stays in her room most days, reading
[COLONEL, spoken]
I can't find enough books for her
[GIORGIO, spoken]
I also love to read. I've brought a few of my favorite ones, I'd be most happy to lend them to Signora Fosca, though I can't promise they will appeal to her
[COLONEL, spoken]
Captain, my cousin's been driven to reading military handbooks. I've no doubt she will welcome anything in print
