Ivanoff Monologue from The Man from Home

From The Man from Home by Booth Tarkington

male · anguished · 56 sec

Through treachery. There was an Englishman who lived in Petersburg. He had contracts with the government--I thought he was my best friend. I had married in my student days in Paris--ah, it is the old story (bitterly)! I knew that this Englishman admired my wife; but I trusted him--as I trusted her--and he made my house his home. I had fifty thousand rubles in my desk to be delivered to my society. The police came to search; they found only me--but not my wife nor my English friend--nor the fifty thousand rubles! I went to Siberia. Now I search for those two. VASILI (gravely). Was it they who sent the police?
