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

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

male · philosophical · 41 sec

Strictly between ourselves, O'Flaherty, and as one soldier to another (O'Flaherty salutes, but without stiffening), do you think we should have got an army without conscription if domestic life had been as happy as people say it is? O'FLAHERTY. Well, between you and me and the wall, Sir Pearce, I think the less we say about that until the war's over, the better. He winks at the General. The General strikes a match. The thrush sings. A jay laughs. The conversation drops.
