The Captain Monologue from Heartbreak House

From Heartbreak House by Bernard Shaw

male · sarcastic · 41 sec

So much the worse! When our relatives are at home, we have to think of all their good points or it would be impossible to endure them. But when they are away, we console ourselves for their absence by dwelling on their vices. That is how I have come to think my absent daughter Ariadne a perfect fiend; so do not try to ingratiate yourself here by impersonating her (he walks firmly away to the other side of the room). (LADY UTTERWORD: Ingratiating myself indeed!. Very well, papa..) I am neglecting my social duties. You remember Dunn? Billy Dunn?
