Augustus Monologue from Augustus Does His Bit: A True-to-Life Farce

From Augustus Does His Bit: A True-to-Life Farce by Bernard Shaw

male · sarcastic · 37 sec

What you hear, madam, is the voice of my country, which now takes a sweet and noble tone even in the harsh mouth of high officialism. (THE LADY: Please go on. You express yourself so wonderfully!) It would be strange indeed if, after sitting on thirty-seven Royal Commissions, mostly as chairman, I had not mastered the art of public expression. Even the Radical papers have paid me the high compliment of declaring that I am never more impressive than when I have nothing to say.
