Minnie Monologue from Dr. Jonathan

From Dr. Jonathan by Winston Churchill

female · anguished · 57 sec

You know all about me, Mrs. Pindar. (AUGUSTA: I wasn't born yesterday.) Oh, ladies like you, Christian ladies, are hard! They won't believe nothing good of anybody--only the bad. You've always been sheltered, you've always had everything you'd want, and you come and judge us working girls. You'd drive me out of the only real happiness I ever had, being here with a man like Dr. Jonathan, doing work it's a pleasure to do--a pleasure every minute!--work that may do good to thousands of people, to the soldiers over there--maybe to George, for all you know! (She burst into tears.) You can't understand--how could you? After all, you're his mother. I oughtn't to forget it.
