Harriet Monologue from The Politician Out-Witted

From The Politician Out-Witted by Samuel Low

female · philosophical · 50 sec

I am happy to hear it; but affluence is not my object, nor poverty my dread; and I am happy I can convince you how little I desire an alliance for interest, by now tendering you the whole of my trifling fortune, in case your father should deprive you of yours. (LOVEYET: Charming Harriet! Miracle of disinterested love! Thus let me evince my gratitude.) Pray do not worship me, Mr. Loveyet; I am less generous than you imagine;--self-love is at the bottom of this noble declaration; for if I did not suppose you capable of making me happier than any other man, I would keep both my fortune and my person, to myself.
