Lucas Monologue from The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith

From The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith by Arthur Wing Pinero

1:04 min

Free from the burden of that crazy plan of ours of trumpeting our relations to the world. Forgive me--crazy is the only word for it. Thank heaven, we've at last admitted to each other that we're ordinary man and woman! Of course, I was ill--off my head. I didn't know what I was entering upon. And you, dear--living a pleasureless life, letting your thoughts dwell constantly on old troubles; that is how cranks are made. Now that I'm strong again, body and mind, I can protect you, keep you right. Ha, ha! What were we to pose as? Examples of independent thought and action! Oh my darling, well be independent in thought and action still; but we won't make examples of ourselves--eh?
