Doyle Monologue from John Bull's Other Island

From John Bull's Other Island by Bernard Shaw

male · anguished · 1:04 min

Well, at any rate you will admit that all my friends are either Englishmen or men of the big world that belongs to the big Powers. All the serious part of my life has been lived in that atmosphere: all the serious part of my work has been done with men of that sort. Just think of me as I am now going back to Rosscullen! to that hell of littleness and monotony! How am I to get on with a little country landagent that ekes out his 5 per cent with a little farming and a scrap of house property in the nearest country town? What am I to say to him? What is he to say to me? BROADBFNT (scandalized). But you're father and son, man!
