Richardson Monologue from Alice Sit-By-The-Fire

From Alice Sit-By-The-Fire by J. M. (James Matthew) Barrie

any · melancholic · 58 sec

‘It was just a chop. What makes you so grudging of a chop?’ (AMY: ‘I don’t care what they ate. Has she gone?’) ‘Oh, ma’am.’ The little maid, bearing the dishes, backs to the door, opens it with her foot, and escapes from this terrible visitor. The drawn curtains attract Amy’s eagle eye, and she looks behind them. There is no one there. She pulls open the door of the cupboard and says firmly, ‘Come out.’ No one comes. She peeps into the cupboard and finds it empty. A cupboard and no one in it. How strange. She sits down almost in tears, wishing very much for the counsel of Ginevra. Thus Steve finds her when he returns.
