Mrs Frail Monologue from William Congreve

From William Congreve by Love for Love

female · comedic · 45 sec

He would have persuaded me that this was an unlucky day, and would not let me come abroad. But I invented a dream, and sent him to Artimedorus for interpretation, and so stole out to see you. Well, and what will you give me now? Come, I must have something.
