- You've both come to London to find me and I'm safe and duty, yes, of course duty is important.
But so is love.
And I want to act from love for you as well as from duty.
And that is why I say dear grandfather, I am persuaded.
- So you will marry Mr.Blifil.
- Never to marry at all.
(Aunt Western groaning) I shall stay home with you and look after you forever.
Love and duty together, do you not see?
- Young women must marry.
- Or what?
- Or the sky will fall in.
(Squire Western sighing) (fist banging) I did not bring you back from Jamaica at vast expense for you to molder and die a spinster.
(door creaking) - You'll catch your death, you obstinate fool.
- You never married.
- That was different.
One, I had money of my own.
Two, I was not the last of my line.
- That's why he brought me back to England, to produce a new generation of Westerns.
- To bear children, to carry on the family line.
Yes, what else?
- Mr. Blifil's children, how can I bear them?
How can I love them?
- I don't know, do I?
It's just what mothers do.
