Janet Cannot Monologue from The Great Adventure: A Play of Fancy in Four Acts

From The Great Adventure: A Play of Fancy in Four Acts by Arnold Bennett

Yes. Illness. (CARVE: Now, if it isn't an indiscreet question, how did you know that there was illness?) I was standing looking at this house and wondering whether I shouldn't do better to go right back home there and then. But "No," I said, "I've begun, and I'll go through with it."--Well, I was standing there when what should I see but a parlour maid pop up from the area steps next door, and she says to me over the railings, "The doctor's just been." Just like that, excited. So I said, "Thank you, miss." I hope it's nothing serious? (CARVE: Pneumonia.) Pneumonia. What a mercy!
