Mrs Dubebat Monologue from The Doctor's Dilemma

From The Doctor's Dilemma by Bernard Shaw

female · dramatic · 1:02 min

I dont care about Mr Walpole: it is you who must befriend me. Oh, will you please sit down and listen to me just for a few minutes. (He assents with a grave inclination, and sits on the sofa. She sits on the easel chair) Thank you. I wont keep you long; but I must tell you the whole truth. Listen. I know Louis as nobody else in the world knows him or ever can know him. I am his wife. I know he has little faults: impatiences, sensitivenesses, even little selfishnesses that are too trivial for him to notice. I know that he sometimes shocks people about money because he is so utterly above it, and cant understand the value ordinary people set on it. Tell me: did he--did he borrow any money from you?
