He Monologue from How He Lied to Her Husband

From How He Lied to Her Husband by Bernard Shaw

male · defiant · 43 sec

We shall not depart by a hair's breadth from the ordinary natural current of our lives. We were going to the theatre when the loss of the poems compelled us to take action at once. We shall go to the theatre still; but we shall leave your diamonds here; for we cannot afford diamonds, and do not need them. SHE (fretfully) I have told you already that I hate diamonds; only Teddy insists on hanging me all over with them. You need not preach simplicity to me.
