“ Are you feeling better, dearest? ”
“ You do not seem pleased. Whatever is wrong? ”
“ I knew there was something between you! ”
“ Well, tell me. Tell me everything! ”
“ You do not need to tell me anything. ”
“ You are getting what you always wanted. ”
“ It will be the grandest wedding of the year. ”
“ Has something happened? ”
“ I believe you will know what love feels like soon enough. ”
“ You think I am to follow in your footsteps? ”
“ Can there be a more dreadful fate? ”
“ The only thing I am grateful for is that I am not you, nor will I ever be. ”
“ I thought we shared an understanding with our discussions of the future. ”
“ My goodness! If anything, I am the one forcing him. ”
“ Love is surely the greatest force of all. ”
“ Nothing can stand between us. ”
“ It was a pleasure to know you. ”
“ I look forward to counting you as part of our family. ”
“ She does not owe me anything. ”
“ Have you not done enough? ”
“ I applaud you. I bring you flowers on each of my visits, and yet you still react with admirable surprise every time. ”
“ I shall need to bring you something unexpected. ”
“ Her happiness is your greatest concern. ”
“ I promise you will not be disappointed. ”
“ Oh, I do hope your wedding dress will be ready in time. ”
“ While you may be content to accept defeat, it is certainly not how I approach things. ”
“ I take that duty with the utmost seriousness. ”
“ You have always been a terrible shit. ”
“ Surely we must be able to do something? ”
“ Now, where is the dinner I was promised? ”
“ Please, come in. Make yourself at home. ”
“ Apologies. Have we met? ”
“ I see my reputation precedes me. ”
“ Feelings are irrelevant. Indeed, they're responsible for this mess. ”
“ You will seduce him? ”
“ He is not so little anymore. ”
“ After your meal, perhaps we could take a walk, like we used to do. ”
“ It is quite late for you to be up, too, is it not? ”
“ If you're nervous about the wedding, you need not worry. ”
“ I am not quite sure what you believe I am to do about it. ”
“ It was not love at first sight for either of us. ”
“ We found something far greater. We found friendship. ”
“ Her laughter brings me joy. ”
“ To meet a beautiful woman is one thing, but to meet your best friend in the most beautiful of women is something entirely apart. ”
“ I want her to be my wife. ”
“ Do you wish to marry this man? ”
“ I suppose congratulations are in order ”
“ I do hope you will remember my kindness in keeping secrets and repay me someday. ”
“ You can choose anyone but him. ”
“ Perhaps you would find it acceptable for me to live my life with a man who treats me like a mere beast? ”
“ I am beginning to feel a bit faint. ”
“ We should not be alone in here. ”
“ I know we have only known each other a short while, but… well, would you want to marry me? ”
“ You deserve a grand wedding. ”
“ I must say, I am honored and most grateful for your presence. ”
“ I hope you made the right choice. ”
“ You certainly enjoy spreading secrets, do you not? ”
“ Dear child, have you lost your wits? ”
“ I am flattered by your accusation, but it is simply not true. ”
“ What evidence have you gathered? ”
“ Tell me what you know. ”
“ What happened the other night? ”
“ I suppose I have put this conversation off for as long as I can. ”
“ Well, what do you recommend? ”
“ I'm sure you'll enjoy the peace and quiet. ”
“ I am going to miss all of you terribly. ”
“ I have a present for you. ”
“ I know we could not be any more different, but there is one thing we do share. ”
“ We need to rest before continuing on in the morning. ”
“ We should go down to dinner. ”
“ You have avoided my presence. ”
“ You have said all but a few words to me. ”
“ I could not bear witness to the misery I have caused you. ”
“ I cannot stop thinking of you. ”
“ From the mornings you ease, to the evenings you quiet, to the dreams you inhabit… my thoughts of you never end. ”
“ I am yours. I have always been yours. ”
“ You look angry and bothered. ”
“ It is you I cannot sacrifice. ”
“ I burn for you. ”
“ It has been so long since we have been blessed with your presence. ”
“ I am looking forward to making your acquaintance. ”
“ I'm no good at those things. I'll only make a fool of myself. ”
“ May I have everyone's attention? ”
“ Do you think this is a joke? ”
“ You are an ass. Do you know that? ”
“ I must make a good impression. ”
“ I am certain there is much left to see. ”
“ I found myself in continual awe of their beauty. ”
“ I knew you were flirting with her, but you flirt with plenty of young ladies. ”
“ I am not sure I have ever seen you so solemn and serious. ”
“ I was not prepared to let another of you fly the nest so soon. ”
“ It pains me you should think every compliment a mockery. ”
“ You think so little of me, I cannot bear it. ”
“ Please do not tell me you regret it. ”
“ I cannot condone your actions. ”
“ I am afraid that is not possible. ”
“ You have such a unique accent, and yet I have never asked where you're from. ”
“ I am not fooled by your little act. ”
“ I am sure we can find a solution to these difficulties, and I thank you for bringing them to our attention. ”
“ Oh, there, there, there, child. No need to cry. ”
“ I did not realize my absence would be felt this way. ”
“ You know, oddly enough, when I am actually in the presence of children, I forget all about my own concerns. They are the easiest company in the world. ”
“ I have all that I want just here. ”
“ I am very sorry. But this plan of yours, I find it wanting. ”
“ What were your favorite pastimes in the country? ”
“ Oh dear, what can the matter be? ”
“ You really are very good. You know that? ”
“ My own father does not want me. ”
“ Fool that I am, I truly thought that with your family, I might finally find acceptance. ”
“ We shall make our own family, you and me. ”
“ It is all I want. It is all I want in the world. ”
“ I wish we could be married this very minute. ”
“ We just have to make it to the border. ”
“ Are you missing home? ”
“ I will ensure everything is in order. I will ensure everything is done properly. ”
“ Should I have worn a different dress? ”
“ Perhaps I might ask your opinion on something? ”
“ I know I am new to the role, but I cannot imagine what I have done wrong so soon. ”
“ I will correct my mistake at once. I…I had no idea. ”
“ I am so very grateful for your guidance. ”
“ His childhood was not always easy. ”
“ Everyone talked as though it was her fault. ”
“ I thought you loved him. ”
“ Your love is an unrequited fantasy. ”
“ I should not have stayed away so long. ”
“ I'm at the end of the world with you ”
“ I trusted you more than anyone in this world, and you took advantage. ”
“ "Cannot" and "will not" are two entirely different things. ”
“ You chose this for yourself. ”
“ I thought you were prepared. ”
“ You took my future from me, the one thing I wanted more than anything. ”
“ I would have died for you! ”
“ Do you know — I even felt pity for you? ”
“ The ones we love have the power to inflict the greatest scars. ”
“ What thing is more fragile than the human heart? ”
“ I have learned that a grave fraud is afoot. ”
“ Should I really deliver the message? ”
“ You cannot believe I shall welcome you back into my bed after your lies and deception? ”
“ I would never dream of concealing the truth of such important matters. ”
“ I must return to my family immediately. ”
“ I will not let you out of my sight. ”
“ Hush, child, all will be well. ”
“ We are in just as perilous a position. ”
“ Perhaps if she can destroy a reputation… she can restore one too. ”
“ This is an emergency. ”
“ We do not require your assistance. ”
“ This may be the answer to all of our problems. ”
“ Pretending that nothing is amiss is the perfect way to lure the ignorant into submission. ”
“ I know you must think me a fool, but my heart pays no heed to mere logic. ”
“ When I think of her, I only want to be near her, to be with her… despite all reason otherwise. ”
“ Perhaps I can arrange a rendezvous. ”
“ It follows no reason or sense, does it? ”
“ Where have you been all night? ”
“ Do you understand me? That we no longer trust each other? ”
“ Thank you for joining us. ”
“ I did not come here to be shamed by you, nor anyone else. ”
“ You may think me a villain, but I did what I thought I must. ”
“ No one ever truly helped me, or guided me in a different direction. ”
“ You wish to know the cruelest part of your deception? ”
“ I see now that was all a lie. ”
“ We should tempt scandal more often. ”
“ Your duplicity comes so naturally. ”
“ Improvement is all a matter of practice. ”
“ How are you faring? ”
“ You have not heard what people have been saying. ”
“ All will be well again, I promise you. ”
“ I am sure you wish to avoid any further unpleasantness. ”
“ Judge not, lest we too be judged. ”
“ Something troubles you. ”
“ I know you are a grown woman now, but I am still your mother, and you can come to me when you need advice. ”
“ Well, then, share your thoughts. ”
“ I am merely trying to be of help. ”
“ For what it is worth, I am sorry. ”
“ I came here to apologize to you. ”
“ I wish it had not happened this way. ”
“ Why should he be the one to choose your future? ”
“ Do you really want to be alone? ”
“ I am quite capable of doing more than you think. ”
“ I have defeated the best, and I'm confident I shall continue to do so. ”
“ I think you would be wise to leave. ”
“ We shall teach you the rules. ”
“ Seems I have been blessed with some beginner's luck. ”
“ Would you just get to the point? ”
“ Do you not ever get tired of pretending to be so perfect? ”
“ We may not be perfect, but at least we keep our promises. ”
“ I'm trying to be a man of my word. ”
“ Well, you certainly make it look difficult. ”
“ Tell me why you are so adamant. ”
“ Your help is greatly appreciated, but there is nothing more you can do. ”
“ I’m not exactly in the mood for music and finery this evening. ”
“ I may have been a trifle harsh with you. And I'm sorry. ”
“ So you admit it now? You were acting a fool? ”
“ You may hurt now, but the pain will pass. ”
“ We live under constant threat of danger. ”
“ I risk my life every day for love. ”
“ It takes courage to live outside the traditional expectations of society. ”
“ I'm not bound by the rules of society. ”
“ You know not the future that awaits. ”
“ Don't you touch me. Stay away! Just leave me alone! ”
“ This time next week, our ruse will be well and truly over. ”
“ I shall begin practicing straightaway! ”
“ I would have expected this from anyone but you. ”
“ I am sorry for everything I have done and said. ”
“ I know I do not always say the right things, and then the things I do say, well… They are not always what you wish to hear. ”
“ However difficult forgiving someone may be, it is necessary to move forward. ”
“ However are we supposed to move forward from there? ”
“ I have come bearing grim news today. ”
“ I thought him a villain, but he was not. ”
“ We do not need to have this conversation. ”
“ You may not understand this now, but I am doing this for your own good. ”
“ You will be better off without me. ”
“ I cannot fight forever. ”
“ I merely showed him what he was capable of all along. ”
“ You still managed to put on quite a performance. “
“ What ever could be more honorable besides taking care of one's family? ”
“ You’re angry, but not with me. ”
“ What is this? And more importantly, how did you get it? ”
“ I believe I need a doctor. ”
“ This is preposterous and fantastical. ”
“ I want you there by my side. ”
“ For someone who hates ballgowns… you look exquisite in one. ”
“ I am merely glad you came. ”
“ I suppose I should thank you. ”
“ We did not expect to see you here. ”
“ Are you enjoying your evening? ”
“ I did not see it at first, but I know you were only trying to prevent me from heartache. ”
“ I wish to tell you something. ”
“ It was actually you who inspired me. ”
“ Oh, um… What was it you wished to say? ”
“ I need you to take me somewhere. ”
“ My imagination was the furthest I could allow myself to go. ”
“ I am looking out for myself. ”
“ What I know is that you are lost, and I cannot allow you to set me adrift as well. ”
“ It is a choice, dearest, one that is never too late to make. ”
“ I cannot tell you how much peace and comfort that brings to me. ”
“ There is nothing you cannot do. ”
“ I know that this is not what you had envisioned for the evening. ”
“ Just because something is not perfect does not make it any less worthy of love. ”
“ He made you believe that you needed to be without fault in order to be loved, but he was wrong. ”
“ I am tired of pretending. ”
“ I cannot continue acting as if I… as if I do not love you. ”
“ I love all of you, even the parts that you believe are too dark and too shameful. ”
“ You may think you are too damaged and too broken to ever allow yourself to be happy, but you can choose differently. You can choose to love me as much as I love you. ”
“ I do not want to be alone. ”
