Title[edit]

The play's title comes from Proverbs 11:29, which in the King James Bible reads:

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

In Act Two, Scene One, Brady admonishes Reverend Brown with this Bible quote for alienating his daughter when he gives a fiery sermon against Cates.

29危害自己家庭的，必承受虛幻；愚昧的人，必作心智者的奴隸。

- 箴言11:29 『擾害己家的，必承受清風；愚昧人必作慧心人的僕人。 』
