C-C Monologue from The Circle: A Comedy in Three Acts

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

male · sarcastic · 55 sec

It sounds like a car. I expect it's your chauffeur taking one of the maids for a joy-ride. (PORTEOUS: Whose hash are you talking about?) Mr. Edward Luton's, my dear Hughie. I told Arnold exactly what to do and he's done it. What makes a prison? Why, bars and bolts. Remove them and a prisoner won't want to escape. Clever, I flatter myself. (PORTEOUS: You were always that, Clive, but at the moment you're obscure.) I told Arnold to go to Elizabeth and tell her she could have her freedom. I told him to sacrifice himself all along the line. I know what women are. The moment every obstacle was removed to her marriage with Teddie Luton, half the allurement was gone.
