Mrs Bridgenorth Monologue from Getting Married

From Getting Married by Bernard Shaw

female · anguished · 50 sec

I shall send a note to Mr Hotchkiss not to come. LEO (weeping again) Oh, Alice! (She comes back to her chair, heartbroken). REGINALD (out of patience) Oh well, let her have her way. Let her have her mushroom. Let him come. Let them all come. He crosses the kitchen to the oak chest and sits sulkily on it. Mrs Bridgenorth shrugs her shoulders and sits at the table in Reginald's neighborhood listening in placid helplessness. Lesbia, out of patience with Leo's tears, goes into the garden and sits there near the door, snuffing up the open air in her relief from the domestic stuffness of Reginald's affairs.
