Maggie Monologue from Hobson's Choice: A Lancashire Comedy in Four Acts

From Hobson's Choice: A Lancashire Comedy in Four Acts by Harold Brighouse

female · defiant · 45 sec

I'm thirty and I'm marrying Willie Mossop. And now I'll tell you my terms. (HOBSON: You're in a nice position to state terms, my lass.) You will pay my man, Will Mossop, the same wages as before. And as for me, I've given you the better part of twenty years of work without wages. I'll work eight hours a day in future and you will pay me fifteen shillings by the week. (HOBSON: Do you think I'm made of brass?) You'll soon be made of less than you are if you let Willie go. And if Willie goes, I go. That's what you've got to face.
