I think I can do without Alex’s South African accent… But it’s Alex! And Nadine Gordimer (“once upon a time”) And a free download on audible.
Excerpt of Alex Kingston as “Elmire” in the L.A. Theatre Works production of Tartuffe, recorded June 2010.
When men make overtures, must we reply With righteous anger and a battle-cry? Must we turn back their amorous advances With sharp reproaches and with fiery glances? Myself, I find such offers merely amusing, And make no scenes and fusses in refusing; My taste is for good-natured rectitude, And I dislike the savage sort of prude Who guards her virtue with her teeth and claws, And tears men’s eyes out for the slightest cause: The Lord preserve me from such honor as that, Which bites and scratches like an alley-cat! I’ve found that a polite and cool rebuff Discourages a lover quite enough.
