Zurita Monologue from His Widow's Husband

From His Widow's Husband by Jacinto Benevente

male · contemplative · 39 sec

Do not thank me. You have done enough. You have been faithful to his memory. You have married again, but you have married a man who was your husband's most intimate friend. You have not acted like other widows of my acquaintance—Señora Benitez, for example. She has been living for two years with the deadliest enemy her husband had in the province, without any pretense at getting married—which in her case would have been preposterous.
