In the play, the adventuress rejects the wife's pleas to give the man up, after which the wife kills herself. In real life, when Cora Hale comes to beg for an end to the affair with her husband, Ethel's first impulse is to take her cue from her role, and to refuse to break off her relationship with Ernest. She reconsiders, however, and urges Cora to make herself more attractive in order to win Ernest back. Cora follows the advice, and as a result, Ernest falls in love with her all over again, and ends his romance with a disconsolate Ethel. Written by Pamela Short See less
