Just an ordinary woman


Les: What do you think, Joe?

Joe:  About what?

Les: This death.

Joe: I think she went to the bridge fully dressed and stood there breathing the warm night air. Then she took off her jacket and put it  neatly on the ground. And then she unbuttoned her blouse. And then she lifted up her brassiers.  And dropped it down on top of the other clothes. And she unbuttoned her skirt. And slipped it down under her hips. Then she undone her stockings and hold them up so they blew in the breeze before she let them flew off into the night. And she shivered. And asked herself if she really wanted to go through with this. And she answered this question by kicking her clothes into the river. She quickly removed her garter belts and her pants. And it was there, dressed its small combination. Thinking over what brought her to this. And then with particle below her, she dropped into the river like a rose. And float there for a moment. And be gone.

Les: What kind of women woud do that?

Joe: Just an ordinary woman.

  1. This is the correct transcription on the prose:

    "I think she went to a bridge fully dressed and stood there breathing the warm night air. Then she took off her jacket and folded it neatly on the ground. And then she unbuttoned her blouse, and then undid her brassier and let it drop down on top of the other clothes. And she'd unbutton her skirt and let it slip down over her hips. Then she'd unroll her stockings and hold them out so that they blew in the breeze like pennants before she let them float off into the night. And she'd shiver. And ask herself if she really wanted to go through with this. And she answered this question by kicking her clothes into the river. And hurriedly now she'd take off her garter and her knickers. And there she'd be, standing in her petticoat, thinking about whatever it was that brought her to this. And then with her petticoat billowing around her, she'd drop into the water like a rose. And float there for a moment. And be gone."
