Back in Sadie's and Chris's room.
Chris:Sadie she's your sister I can't tell her to leave
Sadie:but tomorrow or another day mum and her have to leave this is not their home
Chris:they will leave when they want the one that has to leave is Tommy I don't want him here he's arrogant
Sadie:why he told you something?
Chris:about what?
Sadie:I don't know ....you said he was arrogant
Chris:he doesn't want to obey my orders or my mother's and he always want to do what's in his head and I can't permit that, that happens....now I'm leaving
Sadie:where are you going?
Chris:In my office I want to prepare some things before dinner
Sadie:fine I will get ready and then I will come to you
In Tommy's room Tommy was talking to Speed about Angelica when
there was a knock at the door. He went and opened the door to see
Sadie.
Sadie:Tommy what is this story that Jude is in love with you?
Tommy:I don't have time for your jokes Sadie
Sadie:she was the one that told Chris........what's happening?
Tommy:why don't you ask your sister?
Sadie:I'm asking you...what is going on between you two?.....you're after her now to make me jealous right?
Tommy:I came here for you it's true but now everything between us is finished
Sadie:so why didn't you left?
Tommy:because I have other interest
Sadie:Jude?......you're going to go after her?
Tommy:you have to stop.....I don't know why she said those things to Chris and I'm not interested to find out why
Sadie:no?
Tommy:no
Sadie:but Chris is angry and he wants you to leave
Tommy:and he can do it
Sadie:the fact is that I love you Tommy.....you have to believe me....I miss you....for me there will be no other like you
Tommy:tell me the truth....you were never going to marry me right?....I don't doubt about your love because I'm sure you love me at your way but you were never going to refuse a position and make a scandal to be with a man like me
Sadie:but you don't even have a name Tommy
Tommy:ahh that what it was a name
In that moment there was a knock at the door and Anna came in. Anna
saw Sadie there and wasn't happy.
Anna:what are you doing here?
Sadie:I wanted to see how that girl was but I was leaving see you at dinner
With that Sadie left.
Anna:what was she doing here?
Tommy:she already told you
Anna:fine......I came to make you a proposition
Tommy:let's hear it
Anna:if you leave like a gentle man I ready to give you a good some of money and a respectful wife with a high name
Tommy:a wife?
Anna:yes, I can make Jude marry you.....what do you think?
Tommy:was she the one that told you she wanted to marry me?
Anna:she doesn't know anything it's my idea and if you accept I go and talk to her
Tommy:how can I marry her if I don't have a name?
Anna:I thought about this too
Tommy:and?
Anna:I know a person that likes you, that will be happy to give you his name....Mr Darius
Tommy:he already offered to me to give me his name
Anna:so there is no problem
Tommy:the fact is Mrs Anna I don't want to be called Mills but Dutois
Anna:last time talked you said you didn't want to be called as my husband
Tommy:I changed my mind if I have to have a name I will have the one that expects me or else I will remain Tommy Quincy
Anna:why are you so stubborn?....I'm even giving you Jude
Tommy:you're treating Jude like if she's an object that you own
Anna:don't be ridiculous I said it because I'm sure I can convince her
Tommy:of course you can you will use her just because she still in love with Chris
Anna:who told you?
Tommy:so you know I don't hate Jude or anything but I don't know why others have to find me a wife
Anna:in our class...
Tommy:in your class you don't care about other persons feelings, you just know how to hide things with money and everything and I don't like that
Anna:if you don't like our class so much why do you want this name so much?
Tommy:I want this name not because it has power or nobility but because it's what expects me
Anna:but I can't give it to you and there are no prove that you really are my husband's son
Tommy:that is not necessary, if you and Mr Darius say in front of a judge that I'm Stuart's son I'm sure he will believe you
Anna:just that?
Tommy:there are laws that accept just that the words of two respected persons
Anna:and what will I obtain with that?....Chris will find out
Tommy:you can lie to him and tell him what you want that I'm the bastard of you husband or even the son of a cousin or something what you want
Anna:Chris is not stupid
Tommy:let's not talk about Chris's stupidity you're brave enough to make him believe whatever you want
Anna:look...
Tommy:there is nothing else to say or I have the Dutois name or nothing
