Warden Monologue from The climbers

From The climbers by Clyde Fitch

male · dark · 43 sec

Run away with whatever money he has left, or kill himself. I don't know if he's enough of a coward for that or not. There's one hold on him--he loves his wife. (MASON: Which will make him all the more ashamed of discovery. Do you believe she suspects?) Not a bit. She loves him too dearly. (MASON: Can we do anything?) Nothing but watch him closely till the people go. Then force him to make a clean breast of it, so we can all know where we stand; how we can best protect his aunt from ruin and his wife and boy from public disgrace.
