Cokeson Monologue from Justice

From Justice by John Galsworthy

dramatic · 58 sec

(Dragging his eyes with difficulty from the window) I wanted to say a word to you; I shan't keep you long. (Confidentially) Fact is, I oughtn't to be here by rights. His sister came to me--he's got no father and mother--and she was in some distress. "My husband won't let me go and see him," she said; "says he's disgraced the family. And his other sister," she said, "is an invalid." And she asked me to come. Well, I take an interest in him. He was our junior--I go to the same chapel--and I didn't like to refuse. And what I wanted to tell you was, he seems lonely here.
