Texel Monologue from The Great Adventure: A Play of Fancy in Four Acts

From The Great Adventure: A Play of Fancy in Four Acts by Arnold Bennett

May I interrupt, Lord Leonard? I could listen for hours to this absolutely stupendous gentleman. A circus is nothing to it. But aren't we jumping the track? I've got two witnesses. Mr. Cyrus Carve will swear that your Mr. X is not his cousin. And the original Mrs. Albert Shawn will swear that he is her husband. That's my case. How is my esteemed opponent going to answer it? (EBAG: In the first place, have you cross-examined this very original Mrs. Albert Shawn?) Come. You don't mean to argue that a woman could mistake another man for her own husband--even after twenty-five years or so?
