Louise Monologue from Her own way

From Her own way by Clyde Fitch

female · melancholic · 1:04 min

You're not in the way. You know I couldn't live without my darling pretty little mamma. Please stop crying and kiss me. (Puts her arms around her. (MRS. CARLEY: I haven't anybody in the world but you.) Don't I know that, don't I know I couldn't get on without you! There! [Kisses her.) Now it's all right. Come on, darling, come up and get your hair dyed. (MRS. CARLEY: Sh! don't call it that!) I am irritable lately, I know it--but I see without our money even Steve couldn't get us a decent position. We might just as well face the truth. Certain people don't appreciate you and me, mamma. We aren't even acquired tastes.
