Blackborough Monologue from Waste: A Tragedy, In Four Acts

From Waste: A Tragedy, In Four Acts by Harley Granville-Barker

(A little subtly.) Still... now you and Horsham are cousins, aren't you? (FARRANT: No, no... my wife's mother....) I'm inaccurate, for I'm not one of the family circle myself. My money gets me here and any skill I've used in making it. It wouldn't keep me at a pinch. And Trebell... (He speaks through his teeth.)... do you think your accession to power in the party is popular at the best? Who is going to put out a finger to make it less awkward for Horsham to stick to you if there's a chance of your going under? TREBELL smiles at some mental picture he is making.
