You've driven the others away.Perhaps I have. Pretty.The point is, my dear, I don't want you, any of you,to feel you have to dislike Matthew.You disliked the idea of him.That was before he came.Now he's here, I don't see any future in it.Not the way things are.I don't believe a woman can be forced to give away all her moneyto a distant cousin of her husband's.Not in the 20th century. It's too ludicrous for words.It's not as simple as that. The money isn't mine anymore.It forms a part of the estate.Even so, when a judge hears...For once in your life, will you please just listen!I believe there's an answer,which would secure your future and give you a position.You can't be serious.Just think about it.I don't have to think about it!Marry a man who can barely hold his knife like a gentleman?!Oh, you exaggerate!You're American, you don't understand these things.Have you mentioned this to Granny? Did she laugh?Why would she? It was her idea.
