Warden Monologue from The climbers

From The climbers by Clyde Fitch

male · dramatic · 53 sec

You stole from me once when you were a boy! (STERLING: No! I didn't!) You lie! Do you hear me? You lie! (He waits a second. STERLING does nothing.) I was never sure till to-day! I fought against ever thinking it, believing my suspicions were an injustice to you, but little things were always disappearing out of my rooms--finally, even money. Lately, that old suspicion has come back with a fuller force, and to-day it became a certainty. (STERLING: How to-day?) Because if it weren't true, you'd have knocked me down just now when I called you first a thief and twice a liar! [ (He stands squarely facing him.) STERLING stands facing him also, surprised, taken off his guard.
