Ermyntrude Monologue from The Inca of Perusalem: An Almost Historical Comedietta

From The Inca of Perusalem: An Almost Historical Comedietta by Bernard Shaw

You understand perfectly. How dare you offer Her Highness a room on the second floor? (THE MANAGER: But I have explained. The first floor is occupied. At least--) Well? at least? (THE MANAGER: It is occupied.) Don't you dare tell Her Highness a falsehood. It is not occupied. You are saving it up for the arrival of the five-fifteen express, from which you hope to pick up some fat armaments contractor who will drink all the bad champagne in your cellar at 5 francs a bottle, and pay twice over for everything because he is in the same hotel with Her Highness, and can boast of having turned her out of the best rooms.
