Teddie Monologue from The Circle: A Comedy in Three Acts

From The Circle: A Comedy in Three Acts by W. Somerset (William Somerset) Maugham

male · contemplative · 59 sec

People seem to me so insincere. When you go to parties in London they're all babbling about art, and you feel that in their hearts they don't care twopence about it. They read the books that everybody is talking about because they don't want to be out of it. In the F.M.S. we don't get very many books, and we read those we have over and over again. They mean so much to us. I don't think the people over there are half so clever as the people at home, but one gets to know them better. You see, there are so few of us that we have to make the best of one another.
