One character in this drama hopes to use her mathematical degree to obtain a position as an actuary, which she realizes by working for the legal office of Honoria Frazer. In the first act, when Praed comments that the title character's daughter has no romance or beauty in her life, she replies that she cares for neither, and to end the act, the clergyman Samuel Gardner visits. A late episode in this play references the title character's sister, Liz, who has left their shared vocation behind. Earlier, the title characters' longtime companion Crofts proposes marriage to her daughter, but is rejected and later, Frank is taunted with the knowledge that he may be that daughter's half brother, rendering his proposal illegal. For ten points, identify this play, the title of which refers to Vivie's mother's madamhood, by George Bernard Shaw.
