Knox Monologue from Fanny's First Play

From Fanny's First Play by Bernard Shaw

No. Have you? (MRS KNOX: No. Whats the matter?) (sitting down on the sofa) I believe Gilbey has found out. (MRS KNOX: What makes you think that?) Well, I dont know: I didnt like to tell you: you have enough to worry you without that; but Gilbey's been very queer ever since it happened. I cant keep my mind on business as I ought; and I was depending on him. But hes worse than me. Hes not looking after anything; and he keeps out of my way. His manner's not natural. He hasnt asked us to dinner; and hes never said a word about our not asking him to dinner, after all these years when weve dined every week as regular as clockwork. It looks to me as if Gilbey's trying to drop me socially. Well, why should he do that if he hasnt heard?
