Mrs Jones Monologue from The Silver Box

From The Silver Box by John Galsworthy

1:00 min

I asked him whatever came over him to do such a thing --and he said it was the drink. He said he had had too much to drink, and something came over him. And of course, your Worship, he had had very little to eat all day, and the drink does go to the head when you have not had enough to eat. Your Worship may not know, but it is the truth. And I would like to say that all through his married life, I have never known him to do such a thing before, though we have passed through great hardships and I am quite sure he would not have done it if he had been himself at the time.
