Engstrand Monologue from Ghosts

From Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen

male · comedic · 52 sec

Curse me, now, if ever I used such an ugly word. (REGINA: Oh, I remember very well what word you used.) Well, but that was only when I was a bit on, don't you know? Temptations are manifold in this world, Regina. (REGINA: Ugh!) And besides, it was when your mother was that aggravating--I had to find something to twit her with, my child. She was always setting up for a fine lady. (Mimics.) "Let me go, Engstrand; let me be. Remember I was three years in Chamberlain Alving's family at Rosenvold." (Laughs.) Mercy on us! She could never forget that the Captain was made a Chamberlain while she was in service here.
