Austin Monologue from The girl with the green eyes

From The girl with the green eyes by Clyde Fitch

male · melancholic · 52 sec

(Writing.) Dear Ruth. The satisfaction of the visit to Brooklyn prevents me from being disappointed at having missed your telegram till too late to go to your house to-night. My heart aches for the blow you must have this evening, but please God you will bear it bravely. The man who loves you is not bad, but he has been weak. However, I feel once he can shake off the burden of his present marriage, you will never have cause to complain of him again. And if your future happiness lies truly in his hands, it will be safe there. (JINNY: Are you ready?) Yes. [ (He stops writing.) (JINNY: In your orchestra chair?) Yes.
