Rakolnoki<\/span> embarrassedly.<\/em> I don’t understand, if you please. After all you have not yet tested my …<\/p>\n

Director.<\/span> I have already put you to the test. He goes to the right door.<\/em> It was a pleasure to meet you, my regards.<\/p>\n

Rakolnoki.<\/span> In a word … I should slip away somewhere.<\/p>\n

Director.<\/span> Or depart.<\/p>\n

Rakolnoki.<\/span> Oh … Oh … She hurries off in horror.<\/em><\/p>\n

Director<\/span> slamming the door behind her, very angrily<\/em>. I never, if you please. You heard that? She is grateful and I have suggestive eyes. Shouldn’t a person like that make my bile flow?<\/p>\n

Composer.<\/span> You were a little rough with her.<\/p>\n

Director.<\/span> You saw how flirtatiously she looked at me? They’re running mad this year.<\/p>\n

Composer.<\/span> But you were rough with her.<\/p>\n

Director.<\/span> If I am not rough, then they perch on my shoulder.<\/p>\n

Composer.<\/span> But when they do, that’s not such a big problem.<\/p>\n

Director<\/span> angrily<\/em>. No, not at all. If I accept their embraces, then I must stand for it. They remain on my shoulder. That’s why I said to you, I am not a moralist, but merely …<\/p>\n

The servant enters.<\/p>\n

Servant<\/span> calmly announcing.<\/em> Madame Szeniczey swallowed something, poisoned herself, collapsed, and blacked out.<\/p>\n

Director<\/span> calmly flowing on.<\/em> … I am not a moralist, merely a man with a sense of taste and the desire to live virtuously in my profession. This is just as serious and dry a profession as any other, if a person takes it as seriously as I do.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Six pages today! Three in the afternoon, and three in the evening, after attending a reading of Anna Christie<\/em> at Arena Stage. That brings the total to twenty-five pages out of seventy-five, exactly a third of the way through. A good day.<\/p>\n

The trickiest word today was “\u00f6sszesett”, which doesn’t even look like a proper Hungarian word; “\u00f6ssze” is a perfectly ordinary prefix, but “sett” lacks plausibility. I eventually worked out that it was a typo for “\u00f6sszeesett”, which makes perfect sense in context.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
