Beermann Monologue from Moral

From Moral by Ludwig Thoma

male · dramatic · 1:00 min

Madame Hauteville? (Stroebel nods.) Just forget to lock the door and she'll vanish. STROEBEL (shaking his head). No,... for a great many reasons. Do you think I did not try hard to find a solution? First, if we openly permit her to escape, the whole city will know it tomorrow; the press will take it up and there will be a far greater scandal than the court proceedings would cause. No, sir, at least the letter of the law must be carried out. Madame Hauteville must give a bond. She will be set free and then she must escape. That's the only way we can protect ourselves from criticism. Do you understand me?
