Excerpt from Tears: A Drama of Modern Life in Four ActsMr. Harden My two sons live in New York. My eldest son I have not seen for more tnan twenty years. You understand my longings, my burning longings. I am old, too old, and will soon not be able to follow my trade, and here I have nobody on whom I could depend. By God, I have suffered enough in my life. Of course, it is hard to think of parting from a place where one has spent his entire life, but if it be God's will, we shall follow our children, so that we may see them once more before we close our eyes forever. Is there anything more painful for gray parents than to have children and not to know them? With joy have we cared and sacrificed our all for our Chil dren's sake, and now, when we are old, we are not alone deprived of any benefits from them, but we are not even permitted to know our own ¿esh and blood. Oh, it is almost unbearable to think of! But if our Anna will be able to save money in America, this our last and only desire in life will be gratified, we will follow our children to America.Preacher Are your sons well-to-do there? Mr. Harden (shrugs his shoulders) We know nothing about it, if they were rich they would have written so, they would then have sent us money. Their never mentioning anything about their living is a sure Sign that they must be strug gling.
