Manders Monologue from Ghosts

From Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen

male · contemplative · 46 sec

I have chosen the designation "Captain" rather than "Chamberlain." "Captain" looks less pretentious. (MRS. ALVING: Oh, yes; just as you think best.) And here you have the Bank Account of the capital lying at interest to cover the current expenses of the Orphanage. (MRS. ALVING: Thank you; but please keep it--it will be more convenient.) With pleasure. I think we will leave the money in the Bank for the present. The interest is certainly not what we could wish--four per cent. and six months' notice of withdrawal. If a good mortgage could be found later on--of course it must be a first mortgage and an unimpeachable security--then we could consider the matter.
