GRACE: There is something depressing to the spirits about a birthday, especially when alone. I had no idea in my mind of where I should go. And it struck me at once how very solitary I was. I had no friends, and if you looked at things in the cold light of day, I was indeed alone in the world, with no prospects before me except the drudgery I'd been doing. And although I could find a different situation, still it would be the same sort of work, from dawn to dusk, with always a mistress to be ordering me about. I reflected that the very birds were strangers to me, for I did not even know their names. And for some reason, that seemed to me the saddest of all

GRACE: There is something
depressing to the spirits
00:00:02.601 --> 00:00:03.733
about a birthday,
00:00:03.801 --> 00:00:06.432
especially when alone.
00:00:06.005 --> 00:00:09.199
I had no idea in my mind
of where I should go.
00:00:09.267 --> 00:00:12.599
And it struck me at once
how very solitary I was.
00:00:12.668 --> 00:00:14.065
I had no friends,
00:00:14.067 --> 00:00:16.999
and if you looked at things
in the cold light of day,
00:00:16.167 --> 00:00:17.832
I was indeed
alone in the world,
00:00:17.901 --> 00:00:19.532
with no prospects before me
00:00:19.535 --> 00:00:21.832
except the drudgery
I'd been doing.
00:00:21.901 --> 00:00:24.132
And although I could find
a different situation,
00:00:24.134 --> 00:00:25.766
still it would be
the same sort of work,
00:00:25.834 --> 00:00:27.001
from dawn to dusk,
00:00:27.133 --> 00:00:28.999
with always a mistress
to be ordering me about.
00:00:31.401 --> 00:00:34.132
I reflected that the very
birds were strangers to me,
00:00:34.134 --> 00:00:36.299
for I did not even
know their names.
00:00:36.367 --> 00:00:38.998
And for some reason,
00:00:38.067 --> 00:00:39.999
that seemed to me
the saddest of all.
