CHAPTER ME.
"Because you persist in to refuse to receive you address him of Fabric of raw wool of Willard,
when you know my preference for him?"
"Because I don't like he."
"'Don't like him/it', forsooth! And it prays, it is you going to refuse the best
does offer in the county because of a simple whim? the mere desire of a
done vain-lead, foolish and inexperienced girl? I didn't imagine first that
a the daughter of mine would manifest such lack of common sense."
"If my opinions of men are made on that rare article this way
inappropriately called 'common sense' or not it is a question that I am not able,
you try to decide; it is enough for me to know that I have mine 'it likes
and my antipathies', as the other people, and that it is my _right_ to have
them."
"Oh, yes! _you_ has rights, but a _parent_ doesn't have, I suppose!"
"You know well a lot son-in-laws that I don't deserve an insinuation of that,
kind from You: I am always concerned Your wishes, when express, safe in
this one example, and I have too much in danger, in so serious a matter, to
slightly throws apart my his/her own opinions."
"Yes, yes, you have been the most amiable of daughters, to feel Your really
history; but anybody sooner ago a point of some moment come on on that us
happens not to agree, that my wishes are as nothing--a mere whim of school-girl
has put above in opposition to them, and that, also, without also a shade of
reasons! A _very_ deferential child, really."
"Son-in-laws as _can_ that you speak this way? You are certainly but proccesandomi; for You
_know_ I don't deserve the reproach brought by Your words and way."
"Because not?"
"Because does me?"
"Because you are stubbornly disobedient."
"No, not _willfully_ but disobedient _sorrowfully_ to Your wishes. Gladiolus,
indeed, I am if I could consent with them, but I am not able. Neither it owes
You if it waits me to, until you show of the good motives because you entertain them."
