Ann Monologue from Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy

From Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy by Bernard Shaw

female · anguished · 49 sec

(panting, failing more and more under the strain) Jack: let me go. I have dared so frightfully--it is lasting longer than I thought. Let me go: I can't bear it. (TANNER: Nor I. Let it kill us.) Yes: I don't care. I am at the end of my forces. I don't care. I think I am going to faint. At this moment Violet and Octavius come from the villa with Mrs Whitefield, who is wrapped up for driving. Simultaneously Malone and Ramsden, followed by Mendoza and Straker, come in through the little gate in the paling. Tanner shamefacedly releases Ann, who raises her hand giddily to her forehead.
