Maud Monologue from A Family Man : in three acts

From A Family Man : in three acts by John Galsworthy

female · anguished · 1:00 min

When you went out with Guy, it wasn't three minutes before he came. Mother had just told us about--well, about something beastly. Father wanted us to go, and we agreed to go out for five minutes while he talked to mother. We went, and when we came back he told me to get a cab to take mother home. Poor mother stood there looking like a ghost, and he began hunting and hauling her towards the door. I saw red, and instead of a cab I fetched that policeman. Of course father did black his eye. Guy was splendid. (ATHENE: You gave him the lead.) I couldn't help it, seeing father standing there all dumb. (ATHENE: It was awful! Uncle, why didn't you come back with Guy?) Oh, yes! why didn't you, Uncle?
