Celia monologue (Act 3) — Green Stockings: A Comedy in Three Acts

Oh, it won't, it won't. (_Into telephone_) Hello, Wilson, are you there? Well, listen, this is Miss Faraday. Yes, yes, Miss Celia. I've got to get away to-night on the midnight train. It's most important and will you look up at once what connections that train makes for Southampton--yes, Southampton. Also please wire Bletchley, and have a compartment reserved for me. What? It will take you ten minutes? Please hurry. There is so little time to spare. (_Replaces receiver_.) Now we must get the motor. (_Springs up from chair and goes up to bell-push_ L. _of_ C. _door, rings bell, runs down to_ R. _of_ AUNT IDA _and picks up the tongs from floor_.) How do you feel now, Aunt Ida? How do you feel now?
