Monologue

Mrs Monologue from Overruled

From Overruled by Bernard Shaw

female · sarcastic · 56 sec

LUNN (springing up, out of patience, and pacing round the lounge intolerantly) Well, really, I must have my dinner. These two men, with their morality, and their promises to their mothers, and their admissions that they were wrong, and their sinning and suffering, and their going on at one another as if it meant anything, or as if it mattered, are getting on my nerves. (Stooping over the back of the chesterfield to address Mrs. Juno) If you will be so very good, my dear, as to take my sentimental husband off my hands occasionally, I shall be more than obliged to you: I'm sure you can stand more male sentimentality than I can. (Sweeping away to the fireplace) I, on my part, will do my best to amuse your excellent husband when you find him tiresome.
