He notices the girl in the audience, and after the play, fascinated by her beauty, watches her leave the theater, accompanied by every evidence of wealth and social position. With a sigh, he realizes she is not for him. Ada's father discovers her infatuation for Garrick, and insists she put him out of her mind, as he wishes her to marry her cousin, Chivy. Ingot then promises Garrick a large sum if he will leave that part of the country. The actor coldly refuses, then says, ''invite me to dinner with your friends and I will endeavor to cure your daughter of this fascination." At the dinner Ada is shocked to note Garrick's boisterous behavior and the fact that he is apparently drinking excessively. She speaks pleadingly to him and Garrick nearly loses his control, but manages to go on with the despicable part, although his heart urges him to tell Ada the truth. At last the ordeal is over and Garrick returns home tired and heartsick, leaving Ada miserable and her father regretting the whole affair. Later in the evening, Smith, one of the dinner guests, tells Ingot he just saw Garrick and that the actor was not intoxicated in the least. Ingot shame-facedly admits the truth and he and Ada hasten to Garrick's home to make amends. In appreciation of the actor's sterling qualities, Ingot says, "Mr. Garrick, will you do me the honor of accepting my daughter for your wife?" As Ada and Garrick clasp each other in their arms, Chivy enters and almost faints at the sight. Ingot, chuckling, applauds as though he were at a play, and gives the couple his blessing.
