Georgiana Monologue from Her own way

From Her own way by Clyde Fitch

Oh, Sam Coast, you don't know what love is! Love doesn't make beasts of men, it makes men of beasts. It doesn't take all for itself--it sacrifices all for another. Love isn't an enemy that lays traps and makes ambushes,--love is a friend whose heart is a divine magnet! Real love makes an angel of a woman and a hero of a man, but love such as you have--oh, the happiness in this world that's been lost through it! (COAST: You don't know me!) I didn't, but I do! You've dragged down my brother, sacrificed him and my belief in him, almost, for your own selfish end, tried to trap me into marrying you when you know I didn't love you. (COAST: But you would--) Once perhaps, though I can't imagine it! But not now! No! I'd starve and suffer and die now before I could ever love you. [ A pause; COAST goes to the table and stands half shamefaced a moment, then he pulls himself up and turns.
