Well, I believe we have some power over who we love, it isn’t something that just happens to a person.
Well. I’m not a poet, I’m just a woman. And as a woman I have no way to make money, not enough to earn a living and support my family. Even if I had my own money, which I don’t, it would belong to my husband the minute we were married. If we had children they would belong to him, not me. They would be his property. So don’t sit there and tell me that marriage isn’t an economic proposition, because it is. It may not be for you but it most certainly is for me.
I have been second to Jo my whole life in everything and I will not be the person you settle for just because you cannot have her. I won’t do it, not when, not when I’ve spent my entire life loving you.
I’m making a mould of my foot for Laurie to remind him I have nice feet.
It’s just that the only thing you care about is your writing so it’s not as if I could hurt you by ruining one of your dresses. And I really did want to hurt you. I am the most sorry for it now. I’m so sorry.
I know. You brought my sister back from the dance. I would have never have sprained my ankle. I have lovely small feet, the best in the family. But I can never go home again, because I’m in such trouble. Look!
I want to be great or nothing.
Aren’t you ashamed of a hand like that?
It looks like it’s never done a day of work in its life. And that ring is ridiculous.
I feel sorry for you, I really do. I just wish you’d bear it better.
No, I’d be respected if I couldn’t be loved.
My nose will simply not look refined.
