The Heiress
Suggested by the Henry Hames novel 'Washington Square'
Author(s):
| The background of the play is New York in the 1850s and the basic story tells of a shy and plain young girl, Catherine Sloper, who falls desperately in love with a delightful young fortune hunter. Catherine's lack of worldliness prevents her from realizing that the young man proposing to her is not entirely drawn to her by her charm. Catherine's father, a successful doctor, sees through the fortune hunter and forbids the marriage, but his daughter proposes an elopement which fails to materialize because the young man knows most of her expected fortune will go elsewhere if he marries her. Catherine retires into a little world of her own. But the fortune hunter turns up once more and again proposes to her. For a moment, Catherine leads him to believe that she will accept him, but when he calls by appointment, she locks the door, blows out all the lights, and allows him to realize that she will not be fooled for the second time. |

- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Here's the dress for Miss Sloper.
- Thank you.
Miss Cathy, it's your new dress!
Will you take it out of the box,
Maria, and hang it up?
Yes, Miss.
Well, that's all, I think.
- I'll be at the Harrisons'.
- Yes, Doctor.
I may not get to the clinic today
at all.
- Good morning, Lavinia.
- Good morning, Austin.
- Catherine's starting another?
- She embroiders beautifully.
I hope she doesn't let it become
a life's work.
Austin, yesterday
I had the most exciting experience!
- Oh?
- I met two people from Poughkeepsie.
Birth certificate. They had been
members of my husband's congregation.
When I told them I was stopping
with my brother,
Dr. Sloper, 16 Washington Square,
they were so impressed.
It's just made my visit!
Lavinia, would you care
to spend the winter here?
The winter? Oh, gladly!
Good. I thought if you stayed on,
you might help Catherine.
Help her? But help her how, Austin?
For instance,
Elizabeth's party this evening,
you couldpersuade Catherine
to join in with the young people.
Enjoy herself.
- But of course she'll do that.
- I hope so.
Ah.
Six pounds. That'll be 30 cents.
- Could you please cut off the head?
- Yes, Miss. Kitty, kitty, kitty.
- There you are.
- Thank you.
Yes, ma'am. Fresh fish!
- Morning, Father.
- Morning, Catherine.
I bought a fine fish
for the chowder you like.
That's very thoughtful.
Next time,
let the man carry it in for you.
- Oh. Yes, Father.
- Coming!
It's a lovely morning. Why don't you
invite your Aunt Lavinia or a friend
to take luncheon with you,
perhaps go to a park concert?
I can't. I have some embroidery
I'd like to attend to.
Ah, yes.
Well, I'll see you this evening.
Yes, Father. Goodbye.
- Catherine?

- Come in, Aunt Penniman.
Ooh, you must hurry, dear.
You were a long time
at that hospital committee.
- Too long.
- Didn't you like it?
Some ladies on the committee
are so foolish, they're useless.
They think it ill-bred to know
anything about food or the kitchen.
Such airs and graces.
When I was young,
we took pride in our housewifery.
My, the meals I used to set before
the Reverend Penniman, rest his soul!
- Then, you have deceived me, Aunt.
- How so?
You led me to believe
that you and he lived on love alone.
A witticism like that would be
of interest to people this evening.
It's a very good way to get started.
What I mean is, don't go off
by yourself tonight, will you?
Stay with all of us
and enjoy the party.
You have been talking to Father.
Well, yes, dear. In a way I have.
- Your father...
- Fatherwould like me to be composed
- and to join in the conversation.
- Yes.
- I can't, Aunt Lavinia.
- Perhaps you don't try sufficiently.
Oh, I do! I do!
I would do anything to please him.
There's nothing
that means more to me.
I have sat here in my room
and made notes of the things I should
say and how I should say them.
But when I am in company, it seems
that no one wants to listen to me.
Now, Catherine.
If you will stay by me this evening,
you will see that what I say is not
always of the greatest importance
but, dear,
that doesn't keep me from talking.
Yes, Aunt.
Now, I'll finish dressing
and meet you downstairs.
Father!
Come in, Catherine.
Good evening, Father.
Do I disturb you?
You are not a disturbing woman,
my dear.
Do you like my dress?
Is it possible this
magnificent person is my daughter?

But you are sumptuous, opulent.
You look as if
you have 80,000 a year.
- I thought you'd like the color.
- Yes.
