From Comrades: A Drama in Three Acts by George M. (George Melville) Baker

Ah! this is your work. (SIMON: I own it. There’s nothing shabby about me.) I spoke the truth. Years ago I went to battle for my country, leaving at home my wife and child. Oh, how I loved them, bitterly I knew when returning from my first campaign, I found my wife had fled with my dearest friend, leaving our child to the care of strangers, who had taken her far, far away. In vain I sought her. She was gone. Oh, Bess, if you have found any tenderness in the rough soldier’s heart, thank this for it; for out of grace and gentleness I had fashioned an image of my lost child which you resembled, little one. (MAY: Oh, what do I hear?) Heaven bless you. Heaven bless all beneath this roof; and heaven help the poor wanderer now. (Goes out door C.)
