Hornblower Monologue from The Skin Game (A Tragi-Comedy)

From The Skin Game (A Tragi-Comedy) by John Galsworthy

male · dramatic · 41 sec

(Almost softly) How are ye feelin'. Chloe? (CHLOE: Awful head!) (Reading) "I have something of the utmost importance to tell you in regard to your daughter-in-law. I shall be waiting to see you at eleven o'clock to-morrow morning. The matter is so utterly vital to the happiness of all your family, that I cannot imagine you will fail to come." Now, what's the meaning of it? Is it sheer impudence, or lunacy, or what? (CHLOE: I don't know.) (Not unkindly) Chloe, if there's anything--ye'd better tell me. Forewarned's forearmed.
