Mrs Tarleton Monologue from Misalliance

From Misalliance by Bernard Shaw

female · defiant · 58 sec

Well, this is a nice thing to happen! And look at the greenhouse! Itll cost thirty pounds to mend it. People have no right to do such things. And you invited them to dinner too! What sort of woman is that to have in our house when you know that all Hindhead will be calling on us to see that aeroplane? Bunny: come with me and help me to get all the people out of the grounds: I declare they came running as if theyd sprung up out of the earth (she makes for the inner door). (TARLETON: No: dont you trouble, Chickabiddy: I'll tackle em.) Indeed youll do nothing of the kind: youll stay here quietly with Lord Summerhays. Youd invite them all to dinner. Come, Bunny. (She goes out, followed by Bentley. Lord Summerhays sits down again).
