The Grandmother TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text GRANDMOTHER. Curt, if you do not this moment tell me why you said that, then I will never--[her voice becomes unusually strong and shakes] I never in my life will speak to you again.<br><br>THE DISAGREEABLE YOUNG MAN. But, grandma, I do not want to insult you.<br><br>GRANDMOTHER. You will not insult me if you will be sincere and open. Be sincere always.... And you will not insult me. But when your trying to hide something from me, that's when you insult me. This cannot remain in this way. I must know what you are thinking of. I must know that.<br><br>THE DISAGREEABLE YOUNG MAN. Grandma, I was afraid you would be angry with me.<br><br>GRANDMOTHER. If you keep on concealing things I shall be angry. No matter what you have to say I will not hold it against you.<br><br>THE DISAGREEABLE YOUNG MAN. Are you not angry now?<br><br>GRANDMOTHER. No. I promise you I will not be angry. Say whatever you please.<br><br>[The Disagreeable Young Man hesitates.]<br><br>GRANDMOTHER. Well, then--out with it--speak up, my child--be it what it may as long as it is frank and sincere. Speak up, now. Come!<br><br>THE DISAGREEABLE YOUNG MAN. Very well then, grandma. It is impossible that the story could happen in that manner.<br><br>GRANDMOTHER [offended]. You mean that I told an untruth?<br><br>THE DISAGREEABLE YOUNG MAN. Oh, no. I did not say that the incident did not happen. I just maintain that it could not have happened in that fashion.<br><br>GRANDMOTHER. But why not?
