Hildegarde Monologue from The Title: A Comedy in Three Acts

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

I hope not. Shall I tell you what I think of the situation? (TRANTO: I wish you would.) I think such situations would never arise if parents weren't so painfully unromantic. I'm not speaking particularly of papa and mamma. I mean all parents. But take mamma. She's absolutely matter-of-fact. And papa's nearly as bad. Of course I know they're always calling each other by pet names; but that's mere camouflage for their matter-of-factness. Whereas if they both had in them a little of the real romance of life--everything would be different. At the same time I needn't say that in this affair that we're now in the middle of--there's no question of ratiocination. (TRANTO: Of what?) Ratiocination. Reasoning. On either side.
