Lina Monologue from Misalliance

From Misalliance by Bernard Shaw

female · defiant · 44 sec

You cant cover me with that pistol. Try. He tries, presenting the pistol at her face. She moves round him in the opposite direction to the hands of a clock with a light dancing step. He finds it impossible to cover her with the pistol: she is always too far to his left. Tarleton, behind him, grips his wrist and drags his arm straight up, so that the pistol points to the ceiling. As he tries to turn on his assailant, Lina grips his other wrist.
