Dawker Monologue from The Skin Game (A Tragi-Comedy)

From The Skin Game (A Tragi-Comedy) by John Galsworthy

He came to me. I said I knew nothing. He wouldn't take it; went for me, abused me up hill and down dale; said he knew everything, and then he began to threaten me. Well, I lost my temper, and I told him. (MRS. H: That's very serious, Dawker, after our promise. My husband is most upset.) (Sullenly) It's not my fault, ma'am; he shouldn't have threatened and goaded me on. Besides, it's got out that there's a scandal; common talk in the village--not the facts, but quite enough to cook their goose here. They'll have to go. Better have done with it, anyway, than have enemies at your door.
