Mrs Crosby Monologue from The Thirteenth Chair: A Play in Three Acts

From The Thirteenth Chair: A Play in Three Acts by Bayard Veiller

female · contemplative · 53 sec

The trouble with you, my dear, is that you've been reading novels. When Billy's father married me, I was a school teacher, and he was a clerk. We didn't have any money, but we were awfully in love--we still rather like each other. Now just for the sake of argument, suppose we should have acted like stern parents, what would be the use? Billy's in business for himself, he's making his own money, he can marry when he wants to and as he wants to, and if you want my real opinion, I don't mind confessing that I think he's pretty lucky to get you.
