520			_a"Bought and Paid For" by Arthur Hornblow is a dramatic work derived from a play by George Broadhurst, likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the personal struggles of the Blaine family as they face the impending death of the father, John Blaine, a once-honorable lawyer who has spent his life in service to others but left behind little for his family. The opening scenes explore themes of grief, familial duty, and the stark reality of financial instability, especially as the family must grapple with the fate that appears inevitable. At the start of the story, we meet Mrs. Blaine and her two daughters, Fanny and Virginia, as they anxiously await news from Dr. Everett regarding the health of their husband and father, who lies gravely ill. The tension in the room amplifies as the doctor emerges with a grave demeanor, reflecting on the financial distress the family may soon face in the wake of their loss. The daughters, each characterized by distinct personalities, must navigate the emotional turmoil of losing their father while confronting a life of hardship ahead, particularly as their mother grapples with the overwhelming weight of grief and responsibility. Thus, the opening sets a poignant tone for the unfolding drama, hinting at deeper explorations of societal expectations and women's roles at a time of personal and economic crisis.
