Isabella:
You never did like parties. They'd always find you hiding somewhere. Under the piano, in the coat closet. Tilly's doing beautifully. You should see her. Mary Bassett:
You shouldn't have given her the dress. Isabella:
Poverty was your choice, not hers. Mary Bassett:
I don't want her regretting what isn't within her means. Isabella:
She can have whatever she wants. Mary Bassett:
Not from you. Isabella:
So you continue to punish me for wanting you a better husband. Mary Bassett:
Oh, tell the truth! When I left with Ellis you were relieved. Isabella:
Don't be ridiculous. Mary Bassett:
Why didn't you stop me then? Isabella:
You made your choice. Mary Bassett:
There was no choice! You never wanted me. My whole childhood I saw you fewer times than some people see distant friends. Isabella:
You embellish. Mary Bassett:
When you did come I was kept out of sight by my governess who was quick to remind me I must keep my distance or run the risk of shortening your stay. Isabella:
You had everything as a child. Complete freedom. Mary Bassett:
Freedom is not what a child needs! Isabella:
You were no comfort. From the moment you were born I felt your judgment. Mary Bassett:
Judgment? I was a baby! How could I judge you? Isabella:
Was I to grovel for your approval? Mary Bassett:
Oh. So, deprived of approval from me, you will take it from Tilly? I have lost much this past year, I do not wish to lose my daughter as well
