Arnold Champion-Cheney Monologue from The Circle: A Comedy in Three Acts

From The Circle: A Comedy in Three Acts by W. Somerset (William Somerset) Maugham

You can imagine what a boon it was to the British public. They hadn't had such a treat for a generation. The most popular song of the day was about my mother. Did you ever hear it? "Naughty Lady Kitty. Thought it such a pity..." (ELIZABETH: Oh, Arnold, don't!) And then they never let people forget them. If they'd lived quietly in Florence and not made a fuss the scandal would have died down. But those constant actions between Lord and Lady Porteous kept on reminding everyone. (TEDDIE: What were they having actions about?) Of course my father divorced his wife, but Lady Porteous refused to divorce Porteous. He tried to force her by refusing to support her and turning her out of her house, and heaven knows what. They were constantly wrangling in the law courts.
