Edith Monologue from Getting Married

From Getting Married by Bernard Shaw

It seems to me that they should be divided between the parents. If Cecil wishes any of the children to be his exclusively, he should pay a certain sum for the risk and trouble of bringing them into the world: say a thousand pounds apiece. The interest on this could go towards the support of the child as long as we live together. But the principal would be my property. In that way, if Cecil took the child away from me, I should at least be paid for what it had cost me. MRS BRIDGENORTH (putting down her knitting in amazement) Edith! Who ever heard of such a thing!!
