Junior Monologue from The Belles of Canterbury: A Chaucer Tale Out of School

From The Belles of Canterbury: A Chaucer Tale Out of School by Anna Bird Stewart

female · comedic · 49 sec

And what about your class, Miss? And the angelic Seniors? They never talk, do they. Thank Goodness, we're not like that old patient Griselda in Chaucer. She was afraid to open her head. (FRESHMAN: I think you know a lot about Chaucer. I never will remember all those names.) Oh, there are a lot more of them. One was a silly girl named Emily. She didn't do anything but have "hair a yard long I guess" and for that she had two lovers. I am going to get a hair tonic. That's how silly men were in Chaucer's day, before they learned how to play football, or had fraternities.
