TANNER

Man and Superman · George Bernard Shaw

Man and Superman · George Bernard Shaw

For goodness' sake, don't call him Jack under my roof . Now, Octavius, I know that my dead friend was right when he said you were a generous lad. I know that this man was your schoolfellow, and that you feel bound to stand by him because there was a boyish friendship between you. But I ask you to consider the altered circumstances.
