Hildegarde Monologue from The Title: A Comedy in Three Acts

From The Title: A Comedy in Three Acts by Arnold Bennett

female · sarcastic · 50 sec

I used to like it once. But I don't think I like it any more. (TRANTO: Now please don't let Auntie Joe worry you. She's my cross, not yours.) Yes. But considered as a cross, your Auntie Joe is nothing to my brother John, who quite justly calls his sister's cookery stuff 'tripe.' It was a most ingenious camouflage of yours to have me pretending to be the author of that food economy 'tripe,' so as to cover my writing quite different articles for The Echo and your coming here to see me so often. Most ingenious. Worthy of a newspaper proprietor. But why should I be saddled with 'tripe' that isn't mine?
