Excerpt from Sinned Against Scene I. - Elm Tree Cottage, New Haven, Christmas Eve., 1852. Handsome parlor box-set. Set fire-place with wood-fire r. 2 e. Flower-stand in bay window l. 2 e. Sofa l. c. Table r. c. Rich modem furniture. Garden or wood flat l. seen through bay window. Trees in front of each wing-post, and side of stage thrown open. Snow seen falling through the act. The contrast between the colors of interior, which are rich and warm, and the cold grey of the exterior seen through the window, should be well marked. Major Pearle at table, r. c.; Flint r. of table, and Commodore Pearle pacing floor c. discovered. Commodore. It´s a waste of money, I tell you; and I won´t stand to idle as a stow-away in the cook´s galley, and see it foundered. Fifty thousand dollars! It will be thrown away like a blank cartridge in a salute. The idea of your spending fifty thousand dollars on that pedagogue´s nonsensical experiments. An iron man-o´war! The whole idea is preposterous. It will go straight to the bottom, of course. And a shot tower for a battery! I appeal to you, Abel Flint, - you´re a man of common sense. (Flint snuffs and offers box.) Bah! Don´t sniffle at me! Flint. (Gruffly.) Humph! The hale will´s a folly. I hope I´ve drawn it sae it can be brecken. (Snuffs.) Pearle. Well, I must say you are two of the most unreasonable advisers I ever listened to. I made my money in my own way, and I´ll bestow it as I please. (Speaking slowly as he writes.) There are three things I never take under any circumstances: An insulting blow, an unwilling kiss, and bad advice. There, how´s that for a codicil? Com. (After reading.) What! More waste! Great Neptune! Jack, you don´t mean it seriously? Such a waste of money, and at your age, too. You on your last cruise, and no chance for more prize money! I appeal to you. Flint, (Flint offers snuff-box.) Bah! Don´t sniffle at me! Flint. (Seeing Pearle writing again.) You ha´ better sign afore the auld fule makes it mair. Com. Hold hard, Jack, hold hard! (Sleigh bells heard off l. h.) I´ll sign. But shiver my bowsprit if I don´t feel as if I were on a piratical eruise, robbing widows and orphans! (Commodore and Flint sign papers.)
