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]
Music?
[DOCTOR]
That's Signora Fosca playing
[COLONEL]
My cousin. I have no family and neither does she
She is in such poor health, it's a continual worry
[DOCTOR]
That's her place setting, but she stays in her room most days
Perhaps soon she'll be well enough to join us for a meal
[RIZZOLLI]
She eats like a sparrow
[TORASSO]
My apologies, sir
The comparison has struck me as funny. A sparrow seems
To eat more than Signora Fosca. A pity it is...
[COLONEL (to Giorgio)]
My cousin loves to read - it's her only pa**ion, really
I can't find enough books for her
[GIORGIO]
I also love reading. I've brought a few of my favorite books down
Perhaps I could lend them to Signora Fosca, though I can't
Promise they will appeal to her
[COLONEL]
Young man, she's been driven to reading military handbooks
I've no doubt she will welcome anything in print
[AUGENTI]
Post arrived!
[RIZZOLLI]
Hand it round Augenti
Nothing for me again? It's been two weeks
[AUGENTI]
It smells to me as if Captain Bachetti has a letter from an admirer
