Louise Monologue

From Louise by J. H. Speenhoff

female · defiant · 55 sec

I suspect you are the gentleman with the pretty touch about my shoulders. Well, sit down. Is he gone? Are you gone? I am still here. This is positively the last time I'll ask you to listen to me. I assure you, my patience is nearly exhausted. Your father and mother, your family have asked me to bring the following to your notice. Your present conduct has caused a great scandal. You've left your family for a man who is too far above you socially ever to make you his wife. Consequently, you have become his mistress. Eh? Don't be silly. Sit down.
