Lady Corinthia Monologue from Press Cuttings

From Press Cuttings by Bernard Shaw

female · defiant · 44 sec

I am not your dear lady. You are not the first man who has concluded that because I am devoted to music and can reach F flat with the greatest facility--Patti never got above E flat--I am marked out as the prey of every libertine. You think I am like the thousands of weak women whom you have ruined-- (MITCHENER: I solemnly protest--) Oh, I know what you officers are. To you a woman's honor is nothing, and the idle pleasure of the moment is everything. (MITCHENER: This is perfectly ridiculous. I never ruined anyone in my life.) Never! Are you in earnest?
