During the meal she found herself listening to the poet's monologues delivered in his high-pitched creaking voice. The wind began to shake the shutters as they finished supper and presently the rain began to patter afresh against the panes.
Harrington's thin little hot hands, and listening to her swift, italicised monologues about Allan what he must do, what he must not do, how he must be looked after, how his mother had treated him, how his wishes must be ascertained and followed. "Though all he wants now is dark and quiet," said his mother piteously. "I don't even go in there now to cry."
Not content with giving his ideas to the world in the form of a dialogue, Galilei composed two musical monologues, between 1581 and 1590, one to the scene of Count Ugolino, in Dante's "Inferno," and one to a passage in the Lamentations of Jeremiah.

He had long, fretful monologues on the vanity of diamond-making, if accompanied with a "pestering" by "interlopers;" on the wickedness of concealment and conspiracy, and their effects on charcoal-burning; on the nurturing of spies and "adders" in the family circle, and on the seditiousness of dark and mysterious councils in which a gray-haired father was left out.
