Mamma P Monologue from Dr. Hardhack's Prescription: A Play for Children

From Dr. Hardhack's Prescription: A Play for Children by Harriet Beecher Stowe

female · anguished · 53 sec

It is my daughter Emily. I will send for her. Mary, will you ask Miss Emily to come? Oh, Dr. Hardhack, before she comes I must say a word to you. We would be willing to found a water-cure, to hire a doctor on purpose, to try homeopathy or hydropathy or allopathy or any other pathy that ever was heard of if our dear elegant Emily could only be restored. It is her sensitive nature that wears upon her. She was never made for this world. She has an exquisiteness of perception that makes her feel even the creases in a rose leaf.
