"In what manner can I serve her?"
"By giving her the means of living."
"Does she not possess them already?"
"She is destitute. Her dependence was wholly placed upon one that is dead, by whom her person was dishonoured and her fortune embezzled."
"But she still lives. She is not turned into the street. She is not destitute of home."
"But what a home!"
"Such as she may choose to remain in."
"She cannot choose it. She must not choose it. She remains through ignorance, or through the incapacity of leaving it."
"But how shall she be persuaded to a change?"
"I will persuade her. I will fully explain her situation. I will supply her with a new home."
