Royal Manning Monologue from Comrades: A Drama in Three Acts

From Comrades: A Drama in Three Acts by George M. (George Melville) Baker

male · melancholic · 55 sec

I’ve been giving the young people a lesson on charity. Bess believes it begins at home, and now she has an excellent opportunity to prove her theory, by forgetting that “two is company, and three is none.” Good-bye. (Kisses MAY, and exits C. MAY follows him to door.) MAY (turns back and stops C.). I shall know all to-night. He said it. I am content. I doubt not I shall laugh at my folly, when I know the truth: only a little shadow flung across the brightness of our home, so hard to bear? Heaven pity those to whom the sunlight never comes. ((Exit door.) L.) BESS (feebly). May, May, you’re not going? (Louder.) Why, Marcus, she didn’t hear me.
