Lady Markby Monologue from An Ideal Husband

From An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde

female · comedic · 39 sec

Perhaps the people are a little jaded. I have often observed that the Season as it goes on produces a kind of softening of the brain. However, I think anything is better than high intellectual pressure. That is the most unbecoming thing there is. It makes the noses of the young girls so particularly large. And there is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose; men don’t like them. Good-night, dear! Good-night, Gertrude!
