Clara Monologue from The climbers

From The climbers by Clyde Fitch

O dear! I think mama would find that awfully dull. Go on, swing me! (TROTTER swings her.) Of course, you'll find mama a little different when you see her all the time. You really won't see much more of her, though, than you do now. She doesn't get up till noon, and has her masseuse for an hour every morning, her manicure and her mental science visitor every other day, and her face steamed three times a week! She has to lie down a lot, too, but you mustn't mind that; you must remember she isn't our age! (TROTTER: She suits me!) That's just what I feel! You'll take care of her, and me, too, all our lives, and that's what makes me so happy. I'm full of plans! We'll go abroad soon and stay two years. (He has stopped swinging her.) Go on, swing me!
