Juggins Monologue from Fanny's First Play

From Fanny's First Play by Bernard Shaw

male · contemplative · 47 sec

(continuing) As an idle younger son, unable to support myself, or even to remain in the Guards in competition with the grandsons of American millionaires, I could not have aspired to Miss Knox's hand. But as a sober, honest, and industrious domestic servant, who has, I trust, given satisfaction to his employer (he bows to Mr Gilbey) I feel I am a man with a character. It is for Miss Knox to decide. (MARGARET: I got into a frightful row once for admiring you, Rudolph.) I should have got into an equally frightful row myself, Miss, had I betrayed my admiration for you. I looked forward to those weekly dinners.
