Miss Godesby Monologue from The climbers

From The climbers by Clyde Fitch

female · defiant · 1:03 min

Oh, come, you know what sort of friends we are,--for the amusement we can get out of each other. This is the case,--I trusted this man with my affairs. He was very attractive--I don't deny that; business with Dick Sterling became more or less of a pleasure--but that doesn't cut any ice with me; he's stolen my money. To put it plainly, he's a common thief, and he ought to be punished; why should he go scot free and a lot of others not? You know perfectly well his note wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on; and, anyway, if he hasn't gone and sneaked out of the world, I won't lift my little finger to keep him from the punishment he deserves!
