Robert Monologue from Honor: A Play in Four Acts

From Honor: A Play in Four Acts by Hermann Sudermann

male · melancholic · 47 sec

That's impossible, my friend! Our ways will have to part! (Trast: Nonsense!) I shall ask my employer to give me a position here. The climate in India--you understand----? (Trast: That's pleasant! He doesn't want to leave his mother's apron-strings again, eh?) Don't make fun of me. Since we're going to part--I have to say it some time--I thank you, you kind old wicked fellow, for all you've done for me. It was the most fortunate moment of my life when you saw me standing feverishly behind my young employer in the Club at Buitenzorg, when he was throwing one hundred-gulden note after the other onto the green cloth.
