Carlyon Monologue from Carlyon Sahib: A Drama in Four Acts

From Carlyon Sahib: A Drama in Four Acts by Gilbert Murray

male · contemplative · 44 sec

I believe you have enough knowledge of me, and enough courage, to see that what I did was right. (VERA: Thank you for trusting me, father.) It was when I was in Koreb's town, almost alone, just before the war. The place was full of his men; they came streaming in every day. (VERA: It was in time of peace, was it?) It was called peace, but we all knew what was coming. War would have been better. A frank declaration of war was the one thing wanted; but-- (watching her keenly) --of course it was my duty to avoid war as long as possible.
