Doyle Monologue from John Bull's Other Island

From John Bull's Other Island by Bernard Shaw

male · dramatic · 45 sec

A girl with a dowry of five pounds calls it a fortune in Rosscullen. What's more 40 pounds a year IS a fortune there; and Nora Reilly enjoys a good deal of social consideration as an heiress on the strength of it. It has helped my father's household through many a tight place. My father was her father's agent. She came on a visit to us when he died, and has lived with us ever since. BROADBENT (attentively, beginning to suspect Larry of misconduct with Nora, and resolving to get to the bottom of it). Since when? I mean how old were you when she came?
