Sonia Monologue from Uncle Vanya

From Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov

female · anguished · 45 sec

You must be kind to us, papa. Uncle Vanya and I are so unhappy! Have pity on us. Remember how Uncle Vanya and Granny used to copy and translate your books for you every night--every, every night. Uncle Vanya has toiled without rest; he would never spend a penny on us, we sent it all to you. We have not eaten the bread of idleness. I am not saying this as I should like to, but you must understand us, papa, you must be merciful to us.
