Dearth Monologue from Dear Brutus

From Dear Brutus by J. M. (James Matthew) Barrie

male · joyful · 1:10 min

Is there, darling? (MARGARET: Daddy, the year she does put up her hair!) (with arrested brush). Puts it up for ever? You know, I am afraid that when the day for that comes I shan't be able to stand it. It will be too exciting. My poor heart, Margaret. MARGARET (rushing at him). No, no, it will be lucky you, for it isn't to be a bit like that. I am to be a girl and woman day about for the first year. You will never know which I am till you look at my hair. And even then you won't know, for if it is down I shall put it up, and if it is up I shall put it down. And so my Daddy will gradually get used to the idea.
