Trotter Monologue from Fanny's First Play

From Fanny's First Play by Bernard Shaw

male · sarcastic · 50 sec

No: thats forbidden. You must not attempt to souffler the critic. (FANNY: Oh, I would not for the world try to influence your opinion.) But you do: you are influencing me very shockingly. You invite me to this charming house, where I'm about to enjoy a charming dinner. And just before the dinner I'm taken aside by a charming young lady to be talked to about the play. How can you expect me to be impartial? God forbid that I should set up to be a judge, or do more than record an impression; but my impressions can be influenced; and in this case youre influencing them shamelessly all the time.
