It’s Sunday afternoon! Miss Brill extracts her fur from its box and heads gaily to the park where the people from this southern French town like to stroll, chat, observe each other and listen to the band as it strikes up a tune in the green rotunda. Miss Brill's particular pleasure is to sit on her favourite park bench and listen in on the conversations of others. She feels that she is one of the actors in these eagerly anticipated Sunday performances! This story by Katherine Mansfield is a finely chiselled everyday tragedy.
