Dr. E. But your daughter Kate. I am positive she could be of great assistance to you if you would allow her.

Mr. G. What! a woman meddling in my business matters? Absurd!

Dr. E. I am sorry I cannot agree with you. I know Miss Grovenor has business ability, energy, and brains; what more do you want?

Mr. G. But she is a woman and that settles the matter. Let us not discuss this point. And now can you not give me something that will stop this burning in my head?

Dr. E. I will try, but I fear, without rest, medicine will do you little good.

(Enter Kate, L. U. E.)

Kate (coming down C.). Father, I—Dr. Endicott!

Dr. E. (L.). Kate!

Kate. I thought my father was alone; excuse my intrusion. (Aside.) It is hard to remember how dishonorable he was when I see him as now. But I must.

Dr. E. Do not go, I was about leaving. May I ask to be favored with an interview, at any time possible to you?
