Text

Well I’m not going to spare your feelings, or anyone else’s. You’re the most infuriating set of hypocrites I’ve ever seen. This house is a complete feather-bed of false emotions--you’re posing, self-centred egotists, and I’m sick to death of you. Don’t speak to me--I’ve been working up for this, only every time I opened my mouth I’ve been mowed down by theatrical effects. You haven’t got one sincere or genuine feeling among the lot of you--you’re artificial to the point of lunacy. It’s a great pity you ever left the stage, Judith--it’s your rightful home. You can rant and roar there as much as ever you like--

Noel Coward. Hay Fever. London: Samuel French Acting Edition. p.45
