The Secretary Monologue from The Doctor's Dilemma

From The Doctor's Dilemma by Bernard Shaw

If anyone should come before the time dont take any notice. The commissionaire wont let anyone through unless he knows him. We have a few people who like to come before the crowd--people who really buy; and of course we're glad to see them. Have you seen the notices in Brush and Crayon and in The Easel? JENNIFER (indignantly) Yes: most disgraceful. They write quite patronizingly, as if they were Mr Dubedat's superiors. After all the cigars and sandwiches they had from us on the press day, and all they drank, I really think it is infamous that they should write like that. I hope you have not sent them tickets for to-day.
