Taking refuge in the home of Captain Sands,
Hedden meets the shippers beautiful daughter,
Silver. Hedden believes the girl would make an
admirable heroine for the play "When My Ship
Comes In," he has stolen from Paul Henley,
young playwright. With subtle cunning he in

To his credit his attraction to Silver at this time
was purely professional. He wished to dazzle her

Never let a flatiron come in d.
