Don't you ever get tired of that wretched tapestry? You're like Penelope waiting for Odysseus to get home.
Aunt Ada likes needlework.
I like ice cream. That doesn't mean I eat it twenty-four hours a day.

In this episode: Marian Brook (2), Oscar van Rhijn (2), Agnes van Rhijn (1), Peggy Scott (1), Gladys Russell (1)
Does your presence here mean we're friends again?
JAJohn Adams
Oscar, you and I have known each other far too long and much too well not to be friends.
Have you told your aunts your secret yet?
No. But I will.
When?
When I can't keep it secret any longer.
I know there are men out there who are younger and richer than I am. But we would live well. You would choose your own friends, run your own house, manage your own life! Isn't that what you want?
Very much so.
And I'm not a bully. I would never force you to echo my opinions, parrot all my views. I am happy to be henpecked, as long as you're doing the pecking. We'd have fun, Gladys. I know we would! I want us to be happy. Very happy. And I believe we could be. Don't answer now. Just know that I love and admire you more than I can say. More than I've ever felt for any other woman.
