conversation with miss brill


Mario: hello, miss brill how are you, you know I've been watching you lately and I know what you love sitting on this bench and watch the crowd.

Miss Brill: But, who are you, how do you know that

Mario: let me tell you that I love to sit on the bench of the park and watch the people like you do

Miss Brill: But I have not seen you here

Mario: I know, but don´t be afraid of me, I just want to be your friend, my name is Mario

Miss Brill: it´s good to know that 

Mario: I want to know why you think when you are sitting on the bench.

miss brill: when I´m sitting on the bench I love to hear the  conversation of the other people who´s around  of me, it's just  like sitting in other people's lives just for a minute 

Mario: I've been seen you here as I told you, but how long have you been coming here?

miss brill: oh, it’s a long time that I’ve been coming here, every Sunday and I always find the band in the green rotunda, the old beggar who sells flowers, the young, little girls, little boys, but there is another ones who sit on the benches and they are always the same, it's funny to see them because they are odd, silent and almost all old it seems like every one of them would just come from dark little rooms or even cupboards.

Mario: it's interesting how you see the world miss brill, but what is the most interesting thing that you ever seen here?

miss brill :there's a lot of things for example the other day  I saw a beautiful woman who was walking over here, and she dropped a bunch violets that she had,  and suddenly  a little boy  ran after to hand them to her, she took them, but then she threw the violets away as if they'd been poisoned.

Mario: I think I saw that situation too, that day you was wearing a ermine toque and I think a gentle man in gray was in front of you.

Miss Brill: you're right Mario that ermine toque that I was wearing that day I bought a long time ago, when I was young.

Mario: what about the gentle man in grey?

miss brill: I don't know him but that day  I thought  he wanted to know me , but it was my imagination, I didn't know what I did maybe it was because of my old ermine toque.

Mario: don't worry Miss Brill, may be some day you will find someone who wants to know you

Miss Brill: thank you, I invite you to eat a slice a honey cake at the baker’s, sometimes there’s almond in the slice and makes a great difference. For me it’s like surprise

Mario: oh thank you Miss Brill, and let me tell you that you has a really nice fur; don’t pay attention to those ones who make fun of you coat.
