You'll be willing to, won't you?
Won't you, mother ?" "You forget Dorothy.

She can't leave the town where her father is." "I wish I could forget Dorothy in honor!" Burr cried out.
"You can't," said his mother, "and there's an end of it." "I know it," said Burr.

He got up and stood looking moodily out of the window.
"You know," said his mother, still knitting, "how I have felt from the very first about Madelon Hautville.

I never approved of her for a wife for you; I approve of her still less now, after her violent conduct and her consent to marry Lot, whom she cannot care for.
Still, since you feel as you do about it, I should be glad to have you marry her, if such a thing could be done with any show of honor; but it cannot.

You know that as well as I.You must marry Dorothy Fair, and Madelon is going to marry Lot.
