Mazzini Monologue from Heartbreak House

From Heartbreak House by Bernard Shaw

It can't be that: he is most abstemious. I am afraid he drank too much formerly, and has to drink too little now. You know, Mrs Hushabye, I really think he has been hypnotized. (GUINNESS: Hip no what, sir?) One evening at home, after we had seen a hypnotizing performance, the children began playing at it; and Ellie stroked my head. I assure you I went off dead asleep; and they had to send for a professional to wake me up after I had slept eighteen hours. They had to carry me upstairs; and as the poor children were not very strong, they let me slip; and I rolled right down the whole flight and never woke up. (Mrs Hushabye splutters). Oh, you may laugh, Mrs Hushabye; but I might have been killed.
