Plot

Ishmael Worth renounces his young sweetheart, Beatrice, because he believes himself to be illegitimate and does not want to bring shame to her. Later it is revealed that his mother and father had married. His father's previous wife, thought to be dead, turns up to confront him; but the fact that the first wife was a bigamist makes her marriage to Ishmael's father null and void and the marriage between his mother and father therefore valid. Ishmael, having a legitimate father, now can give Beatrice an honest name.[3]

Cast
gollark: I've got a Wileyfox Swift 2 (because it was cheap & has reasonably available custom ROMs), with a 5" screen. As it turns out, it is quite hard to use it one handed, as phone keyboards are evil.
gollark: What even?
gollark: I may be the only person who kind of likes SQL.
gollark: This is Haskell.
gollark: ```(define (haskell haskell) (haskell haskell haskell haskell))```
