Canynge Monologue from Loyalties

From Loyalties by John Galsworthy

male · defiant · 56 sec

(With cold decision) Young Dancy was an officer and is a gentleman; this insinuation is pure supposition, and you must not make it. Do you understand me? (DE LEVIS: My tongue is still mine, General, if my money isn't!) (Unmoved) Must not. You're a member of three Clubs, you want to be member of a fourth. No one who makes such an insinuation against a fellow-guest in a country house, except on absolute proof, can do so without complete ostracism. Have we your word to say nothing? (DE LEVIS: Social blackmail? H'm!) Not at all--simple warning. If you consider it necessary in your interests to start this scandal-no matter how, we shall consider it necessary in ours to dissociate ourselves completely from one who so recklessly disregards the unwritten code.
