[ piteously] Oh, my darling, how can you be so hard on me? Have I no rights over you as your mother? VTVIE. Are you my mother? MRS. WARREN. [ appalled ] Am I your mother! Oh, Vivie! VTVIE. Then where are our relatives? my father? our family friends?

Before I give myself the trouble to resist such claims, I may as well find out whether they have any real existence.
