Officer Monologue from She Would Be a Soldier; Or, The Plains of Chippewa

From She Would Be a Soldier; Or, The Plains of Chippewa by M. M. (Mordecai Manuel) Noah

male · anguished · 52 sec

Young man, I deeply commiserate your unhappy situation, but the rules of war are rigid, and must be enforced. You must prepare to die! (CHRISTINE: I am ready.) I would offer you hope, but acts of mutiny, and when covering such suspicious motives as yours, cannot be pardoned. You have but a day to live. I deeply regret it, for you appear to have qualities which, in time, would have made you a valuable citizen. You are cut off in youth, probably from the hopes of a fond parent. (CHRISTINE: Oh, no more--no more!) All the sympathy and indulgence which can be offered you shall be yours! Farewell. [ (Exit OFFICERS, GUARDS, &c.)
