Coast monologue (Act 3) — Her own way : $b A play in four acts

Why, you've got to marry me. You needn't be afraid of what I won't do for you. I love you, you know that. Everything--I've told you that before. You shall have _everything_ on God's earth you want, and Louise and her mother shall live in style as they always have, and Steve have his own money back, with a brother-in-law to help him take care of it! And what's the other side of the picture? Nothing for you or Louise or anybody--and disgrace for Steve into the bargain. Why, you've _got_ to _marry_ me! [GEORGIANA _rises,_ COAST _follows her._] Don't you see? Anyway [_Smiling._] it was only a trick to make you, because, Georgy, I love you so! [_A pause; she stands looking at him._] Well?
