Green Leaves
Oh my God! Look at the trousers on her. She’s waiting for somebody. She might be married, she’s waiting for her husband. It’s taking place in part of the city. She’s not an old person. It’s in one of the parks. It’s about mid-afternoon and it’s raining again, but it’s very fine. She has all that stuff around her - it’s fluff. Will she use it? She’s about 42, too old. That’s not really bad says Monica. Her name is Glamour. “Very good”, says Mabel. Maybe she is waiting to get away and her friends might be around and might help her look.
She is a glamour woman. She is perhaps mistaken for an older lady. “We’ll go with that one,” says Maureen.
She has ropes in her hand and she does something with cattle. Mabel agrees. They have cattle around them and they walk them around. She’s a bit further on from here. She’s Cherice’s mother and she’s looking after cattle. She’s good at it. We want her to come on the TV in December. She’ll go out and have a good time after that, parties, drinking, snuggling up to a good boy. She’s waiting for somebody to come along. She’s all smiling up. We hear day sounds, not too high and not too low. We hear birds. It seems to be a quiet part of the park.
This lady, she must have ended it. She has the trousers ready for herself. If her friends don’t come, she’s going to go.
