| Notes |
Robert Ullin is pseudonym of Beatrice Allender McFee (1899-1952).
The title is a catch-phrase repeated by one of the characters and is borrowed from Christopher Marlowe’s famous play The Jew of Malta (1590), in which Barabas the Jew confesses his sins to two friars, saying, “But that was is another country; and besides, the wench is dead.”
