Sir Pearce Monologue from O'Flaherty V.C.: A Recruiting Pamphlet

From O'Flaherty V.C.: A Recruiting Pamphlet by Bernard Shaw

male · contemplative · 44 sec

Really, O'Flaherty, the war seems to have upset you a little. O'FLAHERTY. It's set me thinking, sir; and I'm not used to it. It's like the patriotism of the English. They never thought of being patriotic until the war broke out; and now the patriotism has took them so sudden and come so strange to them that they run about like frightened chickens, uttering all manner of nonsense. But please God they'll forget all about it when the war's over. They're getting tired of it already.
