Tarleton Monologue from Misalliance

From Misalliance by Bernard Shaw

male · contemplative · 1:00 min

(puzzled) What? Oh! my destiny. Gad, I forgot all about it: Jock started a rabbit and put it clean out of my head. Besides, why should I give way to morbid introspection? It's a sign of madness. Read Lombroso. (To Lord Summerhays) Well, Summerhays, has my little girl been entertaining you? (LORD SUMMERHAYS: Yes. She is a wonderful entertainer.) I think my idea of bringing up a young girl has been rather a success. Dont you listen to this, Patsy: it might make you conceited. Shes never been treated like a child. I always said the same thing to her mother. Let her read what she likes. Let her do what she likes. Let her go where she likes. Eh, Patsy?
