Agnes Monologue from The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith

From The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith by Arthur Wing Pinero

55 sec

Listen. Long ago, in Florence, I began to suspect that we had made a mistake, Lucas. Even there I began to suspect that your nature was not one to allow you to go through life sternly, severely, looking upon me more and more each day as a fellow worker and less and less as --a woman. I suspected this--oh, proved it!--but still made myself believe that this companionship of ours would gradually become, in a sense, colder--more temperate, more impassive. Never! never! Oh, a few minutes ago this man, who means to part us if he can, drew your character, disposition, in a dozen words.
