Lydia Monologue from The Rivals

From The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

female · anguished · 46 sec

Then before we are interrupted, let me impart to you some of my distress!--I know your gentle nature will sympathize with me, though your prudence may condemn me! My letters have informed you of my whole connection with Beverley; but I have lost him, Julia! My aunt has discovered our intercourse by a note she intercepted, and has confined me ever since! Yet, would you believe it? she has absolutely fallen in love with a tall Irish baronet she met one night since we have been here, at Lady Macshuffle's rout.
