	That's right, this object is getting called from another class object.
All of this is part of a GPL'd program that allows children to create
their own video games using drawings and pictures, without them having to
learn how program.

	Since the program runs under Linux and Windows, there's separate
objects loaded for each enviroment, both having a reference set to
"self.speech" in order to abstract the exact implementation away from
other parts of the program.
