Georgiana. Mine must do for all of us.
Coast. [Strongly.] Excuse me, but I'll see that Louise and her mother don't suffer; you keep your money.
Georgiana. No, that's not the point, Sam. I asked you once to give my brother advice and you
refused. You might have prevented this, and now we can get along without your money. Steve won't have to go out of his own family to make up as far as he can for what he's lost out of yours.
[Sam turns away to the mantel.
Steven. Georgy! O Georgy! You're an angel! [Hugging her and kissing her in a transport of relief.] I'll get out of it, you'll see! I'll cover myself to-morrow. I can do that with your Croton Bonds and your Mutual Life and a couple of mortgages, and we'll win in the end, and Louise get hers back and mother too—! [His arm about his wife.] It's sure in the end, it's got to be, Louise.
[There is no response from LOUISE.
Georgiana. Steven, I have a condition about my money.
Steven. [Crestfallen.] What?
Georgiana. It isn't to be used as you think. If I'm to help you, it must be in my own way.
