Mrs Austin Monologue from The Second-Story Man

From The Second-Story Man by Upton Sinclair

female · anguished · 50 sec

(Wildly.) You have done that sort of thing before. And you will do it again! (AUSTIN: My dear...) And you take money for it! You bring that money home to me! And you never told me how you got it! You make me sharer in your guilt! (AUSTIN: Helen!) This was how you earned your promotion! This was what you came to me and boasted about! This was what we married on. This money ... blood money... that you get for cheating this helpless laborer out of his rights... out of everything he had in the world!
