Marchbanks Monologue from Candida

From Candida by Bernard Shaw

male · dramatic · 45 sec

Thank you, I should like that very much. But I really mustn't. The truth is, Mrs. Morell told me not to. She said she didn't think you'd ask me to stay to lunch, but that I was to remember, if you did, that you didn't really want me to. (Plaintively.) She said I'd understand; but I don't. Please don't tell her I told you. MORELL (drolly). Oh, is that all? Won't my suggestion that you should take a turn in the park meet the difficulty?
