She Monologue from How He Lied to Her Husband

From How He Lied to Her Husband by Bernard Shaw

female · defiant · 44 sec

I thought you were only a boy, a child, a dreamer. I thought you would be too much afraid to do anything. And now you want to beat Teddy and to break up my home and disgrace me and make a horrible scandal in the papers. It's cruel, unmanly, cowardly. HE (with grave wonder) Are you afraid?
