No, Robert D'Alton, you will not become respectable and leave me out in the cold, insulting and spurning me at every turn with your petty offers of money.

The credulous father believes the hypocrite; and, spurning his best friend, gives his daughter to a villainous low scull, in which acquisitiveness, and the back part of the bloody brain, are the most predominant.
