Charles Monologue from A Social Satire

From A Social Satire by Frank G. Tompkins

male · sarcastic · 52 sec

And it's a serious thing to have a thief pass you by. People have been socially marooned for less than that. Have I made myself clear? Are you ready for the question? What would you like to have me take? Charles. Now, old man, I say that's neat. Sure you aren't a lawyer? Thief. I have studied the law—but not from that side.
