Hypatia Monologue from Misalliance

From Misalliance by Bernard Shaw

female · contemplative · 40 sec

Well, I wanted you to come. (LORD SUMMERHAYS: In spite of my age and my unfortunate talkativeness?) I like talking to you. I can let myself go with you. I can say things to you I cant say to other people. (LORD SUMMERHAYS: I wonder why?) Well, you are the only really clever, grown-up, high-class, experienced man I know who has given himself away to me by making an utter fool of himself with me. You cant wrap yourself up in your toga after that. You cant give yourself airs with me.
