The "people"?
PIKE
Yes; the whole gang. Can't you see how [pg 110] they're counting on it? It's in their faces, in their ways! This Earl—don't you see he's counting on living on you? Do you think the son would get that settlement? Why, a Terre Hut pickpocket could get it away from him—let alone his old man! What do you think would become of the "settlement"?
ETHEL
Part of it would go to the restoration of Hawcastle Hall and part to Glenwood Priory.
PIKE
Glenwood Priory?
ETHEL
That is part of the estate where Almeric and I will live until Lord Hawcastle's death.
