From The convolvulus: a comedy in three acts by Allen Norton

female · dramatic · 1:11 min

When a woman does not change her name for love she does so for money. It is true sometimes of a man. I see now why Mr. Hargrave changed his name and why he refuses to marry us. He shall not get a cent. (To DILL.) I think that you knew all the while that Mr. Hargrave was your brother, and that you chose to be married by a thief. (HARGRAVE'S expression has changed.) JANE (stepping out). Mr. Hargrave changed his name solely for my sake. We are going to be married, and I preferred Hargrave to Kent. That may be remedied, however. As for his brother--he did think him dead for he told me so himself. (JACK: You have done this for my sake?) For whoever's sake you did it, Jane, I am glad you have got a husband at last--even if you did it for your own. Come, Dill.
