    Dancing at Lughnasa

    Brian Friel

    Dublin, Ireland

    Miss Sophia, who must be all of fifteen; she comes


    up to me and she says, I hope youre not going to miss the
    harvest dance, Miss Mundy. Its going to be just supreme this
    year. And honest to God, if youd seen the delight in her
    eyes, youd think this thing was heaven she was talking
    about. Wouldnt it be a good one if we all went? To the
    harvest dance. Just like we used to. All dressed up. I think Id
    go. I think we should all go. You could wear that blue dress
    of mine- youre beautiful in it, Kate. You have the figure for it
    and it brings out the colour of your eyes. And you can wear
    my brown shoes with the crossover straps. I dont care what
    you say. Were going. Ive five pounds saved. Ill take you. Ill
    take us all. How many years has it been since we were at
    the harvest dance? At any dance? And I dont care how
    young they are, how drunk and dirty and sweaty they are. I
    want to dance, Kate. Like we used to. I just want to dance.
