When we learn that Katherine will come into some fortune as her father's only child, and that Morris is seeking employment, we appreciate her father's suspicion that Morris is after her money.  Our suspicion is deepened when Morris asks her to marry him, and advises her to resist her father's insinuation that he is after her money.
