Amelia Wildenhaim Monologue from Lovers' Vows

From Lovers' Vows by August von Kotzebue

female · contemplative · 42 sec

I know you are not—And as you have for a long time instructed me, why should not I now begin to teach you? (MR. ANHALT: Teach me what?) Whatever I know, and you don’t. (MR. ANHALT: There are some things I had rather never know.) So you may remember I said when you began to teach me mathematics. I said I had rather not know it—But now I have learnt it gives me a great deal of pleasure—and (hesitating) perhaps, who can tell, but that I might teach something as pleasant to you, as resolving a problem is to me.
