Steven Monologue from Her own way

From Her own way by Clyde Fitch

male · anguished · 1:14 min

Oh, I can't bear it! I can't bear it! But you don't mean it! No, you can't mean it! How could you? Forgive me? Trust me again? No, no! You couldn't--it's all over! I've thrown away my own money first, then my wife's and her mother's--that ought to have been enough,--but I had to go and break my word of honor to you, and lose every penny of yours! There's no excuse for me, nor reason to forgive. (GEORGIANA: There's love, Steve!) Not for a man like me. I'm not worth it. (He rises.) Not deserving it! There's only one thing for such as me, and that is to end it all with a bullet. (GEORGIANA: Now you're talking wildly!) (In a lowered voice.) No, Georgy, I mean it! It's better for all of you to have me out of the way; I tried to do it to-day--only, I was afraid!
