Mrs Bridgenorth Monologue from Getting Married

From Getting Married by Bernard Shaw

female · contemplative · 58 sec

No: marriage came natural to me. I should have thought it did to you too. COLLINS (pensive) No, maam: it didnt come natural. My wife had to break me into it. It came natural to her: she's what you might call a regular old hen. Always wants to have her family within sight of her. Wouldnt go to bed unless she knew they was all safe at home and the door locked, and the lights out. Always wants her luggage in the carriage with her. Always goes and makes the engine driver promise her to be careful. She's a born wife and mother, maam. Thats why my children all ran away from home.
