Ellie Monologue from Heartbreak House

From Heartbreak House by Bernard Shaw

female · anguished · 40 sec

That was all: for at the end of two years my father was utterly ruined. (MRS HUSHABYE: How?) I don't know. I never could understand. But it was dreadful. When we were poor my father had never been in debt. But when he launched out into business on a large scale, he had to incur liabilities. When the business went into liquidation he owed more money than Mr Mangan had given him. (MRS HUSHABYE: Bit off more than he could chew, I suppose.) I think you are a little unfeeling about it.
