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

(_Seizes_ AUNT IDA'S _bonnet from pile of wraps and crosses to her above table_) Of course I have. You don't suppose I'm going to have those two men back here until we're out of the way. (_Placing bonnet on_ AUNT IDA'S _head from back_) I don't want to hurry you, dear, but we must be ready the minute Mr. Raleigh gets here. (CELIA _is so excited that she gets_ AUNT IDA'S _bonnet on quite to one side, ties a rampant bow under her right ear, then flies up stage and peeps through curtain on door to see if the men are returning_. AUNT IDA _during this is showing serious signs of the effect of the brandy by grotesque gestures and movements of her head_. CELIA _returns_ R. _of_ AUNT IDA.) How do you feel now, Aunt Ida, how do you feel now?
