Mrs Hushabye Monologue from Heartbreak House

From Heartbreak House by Bernard Shaw

female · dramatic · 42 sec

Do sit down, everybody. (She sits down on the sofa). They all move except Ellie. Mazzini resumes his seat. Randall sits down in the window-seat near the starboard door, again making a pendulum of his poker, and studying it as Galileo might have done. Hector sits on his left, in the middle. Mangan, forgotten, sits in the port corner. Lady Utterword takes the big chair. Captain Shotover goes into the pantry in deep abstraction. They all look after him: and Lady Utterword coughs consciously.
