ETHEL
Professor Ivanoff, are you following Lord Hawcastle and your wife?
IVANOFF
My wife exists no longer for me.
ETHEL
But Lord Hawcastle? Do you mean to follow him?
IVANOFF
[with great feeling]
No, no, no! I could not hurt his body—I could not. The suffering of a man is here—here! What is it he has of most value in this world? It is that name of his. Except for that, he is poor, and that I shall destroy. He shall not go in his clubs; he shall not go among his own class, and in the streets they will point at him. His story and mine shall be made—ah, but too well known! And that name of which he and all his family have been so proud, it shall be disgrace and dishonor to bear.
