Dearth Monologue from Dear Brutus

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

male · melancholic · 48 sec

Yes, it sounds extraordinary, but I did. It gave you a shock, and, for the moment, the world no longer seemed a safe place to you; your faith in me had always made it safe till then. You were suddenly not even sure of your bread and butter, and a frightened tear came to your eyes. I was in a nice state about it, I can tell you. (He is in a nice state about it still.) (MARGARET: Silly! But what has that to do with my laugh, Daddy?) The laugh that children are born with lasts just so long as they have perfect faith. To think that it was I who robbed you of yours!
