Miss Julie and Other Plays (Classic Reprint)

The action of the play takes place on Midsummer Night, in the Count skitchen. CHRISTINE stands on the left, by the hearth, and fries something in a pan. She has on a light blouse and a kitchen apron. JOHN comes in through the glass door in livery. He holds in his hand a pair of big riding boots with spurs, which he places on the noor at the back, in a visible position. John. Miss Julie is mad again to-night - absolutely mad! Christine. Oh! And so you're here, are you? John. I accompanied the Count to the station, and when I passed the barn on my way back I went in to have a dance. At that time Miss Julie was dancing with that man Forster. When she noticed me, she made straight for me and asked me to be her partner in the waltz, and from that moment she danced in a way such as I've never seen anything of the kind before. She is simply crazy. Christine. She's always been that, but never as much as in the last fortnight, since the engagement was broken off. John. Yes; what an affair that was, to be sure. The man was certainly a fine fellow, even though he didnt have much cash. Well, to be sure, they have so many whims and fancies. He sits down at the right by the table.
