:57:02
was not an act he was so stupid to commit,
:57:05
although he had to admit that in a moment
of weakness he might have said he would.
:57:13
Before returning to the meeting that night
Tom opened the little drawer he had open
the night of Grace's arrival,
:57:20
and found it still there:
:57:23
the card from the gangster in the car.
:57:46
[Narrator] The next day the sun was shining
in the brisk autumn sky,
:57:49
and the snow was long since gone.
:57:54
For the first time for ages the pile driver
could be heard in the marshlands
:57:58
as it hammered in the piles for what might
or what might not be a penitentiary.
:58:04
Grace opened her eyes after an almost
unconscious sleep, and was confused.
:58:10
Judging by the light coming through the cracks
in the walls, it had to be nearly midday.
:58:15
"The grey hour" as Jack McKay
for some reason called noon in Dogville,
:58:20
being a man of many ideas and proclivities,
quite a few of which Grace would prefer to remain ignorant of.
:58:28
But why had nobody roused her?
:58:31
Nobody had hammered furiously at her door.
:58:33
Not a child had thrown mud into her bed
or broken her remaining windowpanes.
:58:39
Now she remembered.
:58:41
She recalled the meeting the previous day,
and puzzled still more.
:58:47
Why had she not been confronted with
the outcome of that meeting? Or even killed?
:58:53
It was quite unlike Dogville to restrain
its indignation at any point.
:58:57
Perhaps things had turned out well after all?
