GEORGIANA. _Will_ you listen to me and let me say what I'm trying to?
LOUISE. [_Bursting into floods of tears, overwhelmed with sympathy for herself._] He's broken my heart! That's what he's done; broken my heart! GEORGIANA. [_Going to_ LOUISE.] Oh, no, he hasn't, Louise, he's only broken your bank, and you don't know the difference. I want to say to you now,--that all Steve needed was real love, and the guiding hand of a true, sensible woman-- STEVEN. [_Interrupting her, goes to_ GEORGIANA. GEORGIANA _turns to_ STEVE.] No, Georgy! You mustn't blame Louise! I love her and always will, just as she is. She doesn't mean all she says now--she's angry, and she has a right to be--I'm one of those men who never succeed--who never have any luck, and it's bad luck for her to have to share mine. GEORGIANA. Well, what's done's done? But, as Louise says, my money's left. STEVEN. Yes, but-- GEORGIANA. Mine must do for all of us. COAST. [_Strongly._] Excuse me, but I'll see that Louise and her mother don't suffer; _you_ keep your money. GEORGIANA. No, that's not the point, Sam. I asked you once to give my brother advice and you refused. You might have prevented this, and now we can get along without your money. Steve won't have to go out of his own family to make up as far as he can for what he's lost out of yours. |
