Mrs Dubedat Monologue from The Doctor's Dilemma

From The Doctor's Dilemma by Bernard Shaw

female · anguished · 55 sec

He is perhaps sometimes weak about women, because they adore him so, and are always laying traps for him. And of course when he says he doesnt believe in morality, ordinary pious people think he must be wicked. You can understand, cant you, how all this starts a great deal of gossip about him, and gets repeated until even good friends get set against him? (RIDGEON: Yes: I understand.) Oh, if you only knew the other side of him as I do! Do you know, doctor, that if Louis dishonored himself by a really bad action, I should kill myself. (RIDGEON: Come! dont exaggerate.) I should. You don't understand that, you east country people.
