I had never heard her speak with such intensity before, and so I did not interrupt her. Once the clock struck 11 though, I began to feel nervous. She had been talking non-stop for more than four hours. I had to worry about the last train and my midnight curfew. I saw my chance and cut in.
"Time for the troops to go home", I said, looking at my watch.
My words did not seem to reach her, or if they did, she was unable to grasp their meaning. I gave up. I thought I'd better let her talk herself out. The curfew and the last train would have to take care of themselves. She did not go on for long though. Before I knew it, she had stopped talking. She had not actually finished what she was saying. Her words had simply evaporated.
