Newland Archer:
Is this really so difficult? Mrs. Mingott:
The entire family is difficult! Not one of them wants to be different. When they are different, they end up like Ellen's parents. No masks. Continental wanderers, dragging Ellen about, lavishing on her an expensive but incoherent education. Out of all of them, I don't believe there's one that takes after me, but my little Ellen. You've got a quick eye. Why in the world didn't you marry her? Newland Archer:
Well, for one thing, she wasn't there to be married. Mrs. Mingott:
No. To be sure
