The curtain rises soon.

大学いん研究生のしょう学金についてのへんじが、間もなく来るはずです。

I'll probably get a reply regarding the postgraduate research scholarship before long.

もう間もなく夕飯が出来上がる頃ですが、クッキーを食べる手が止まりません。

Supper will be ready really soon but I still can’t stop eating these cookies.

Meaning Explanation

The もなく part is like saying "also don't have." So, when you "also don't have an interval of time," things will happen soon or before long.

Reading Explanation

The reading for this one is weird, though. It's a second kun'yomi reading (there is also あいだ), read as ま. So what is happening soon? Your Ma is going to be here before long. You better hurry and prepare, because your room looks terrible...

"間もなく, your mom is about to show up!"
