Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What God Hath Joined: A Society Drama in Four Acts Discussing the Divorce Question Library, Willson Stapleton´s home. Early in the evening. Stapleton is seated at writing table in act of closing a letter. Rings for butler. (Enter Harvey, the butler.) Stapleton - (Reading letter; seals it and hands to butler). Harvey, do you think you can get this letter to the post office in time to catch the Limited for Boston? Harvey - (Glancing at the clock). The Limited goes through here at eight o´clock, Sir, and the mail closes about a half hour earlier. It is now 7:15 - I ought to make it in ten minutes, and have five minutes to spare. Stapleton - Don´t let anything delay you, for that is an important letter. (Harvey starts to go.) And, Harvey, you had better inquire at the office to make sure, and let me know. (Harvey starts a second time.) And, Harvey, (handing him a coin) buy a special delivery stamp and paste it on the letter before mailing. Harvey - As you direct, Sir. (Exit Harvey.) Stapleton - If Masters is at his hotel, he will get my letter before 9:30 tonight, and if no mischief has been done by that time, maybe we can get our breath for another day. (Walks about room.) Masters is a good fellow - a brilliant mind, thoroughly unselfish and absolutely on the square, but his radicalism is becoming a serious menace to our practice. I sometimes believe he is right, and I envy him his frank and fearless advocacy of what he believes, but in this day and age no man can well afford to defy the conventions to challenge the power of money, or to ignore the Church as a factor to reckon with. Future events may in time justify the course of the man who dares to do these things; but in his own day and generation the reformer is always made to pay a fearful price for his charged apostacy. (Enter Mrs. Stapleton.) Mrs. Stapleton - Willson, haven´t you reached a conclusion as yet concerning your future relations with Senator Masters? I tell you things are coming to a serious pass, and you are expected to do something. Stapleton - I am thinking hard about it. I should like above all things to shape my affairs to your liking, but there are many other matters to be considered. Mrs. S. - But, can there be any considerations that take precedence of your duty to your family your religious convictions, and your social position? Stapleton - Possibly not, but I must be fair with Masters. (Nervously walking about the room.) Mrs. S. - Yes, Willson, but not at the expense of your self respect, and the social opportunity of your family. You must not forget that the marriage of our daughter into the Gordon family entails upon you, at this time, an additional obligation.
