Celia Monologue from Green Stockings: A Comedy in Three Acts

From Green Stockings: A Comedy in Three Acts by A. E. W. (Alfred Edward Woodley) Mason

female · sarcastic · 1:03 min

Old fool!--Isn't it a mercy I'm going to escape that sort of thing? There'd be a dozen more if I gave them a chance, but instead of that I'm going with you to Chicago to live and die a spinster with an unawakened soul. (AUNT IDA: Celia, I have a queer feeling we're not done with this thing yet.) Why, of course we are, you dear; the steamship tickets are up in my room and I'm going with you to-morrow when you leave on the noon train. What a brick you've been through it all, Aunt Ida, what a brick! (AUNT IDA: You--you--you must never do it again, Celia.) Well, it's hardly the sort of thing one can do very often.
