he was always such a smart child since she was so big you was always so smart was there every time you didn't listen to me rosle even when you were so big you would come to school and from school and you would say mama look should I tell me what you'll say I'll do everything Ros darling I can't tell you not to love George but I can tell you to use your head not everybody marries who they love because they understand with their better senses that not always Is it wise to marry who you love if that person is wrong Ros not for nothing do they say love is blind that's why we have heads with Minds to warn us our feelings are sometimes false to us Rosalie I have to make my own mistakes Mar but rosaly darling if we knew George we keep saying that to me m of course Ros you didn't know Grace either I didn't know Grace but I knew my family I knew that Sammy knew Grace Sammy never wrote to you Ma Sammy never even said what are you trying to say Ros from the very beginning Rosy since Grace came here I F what mama and darling you didn't like George neither because I didn't trust him you didn't trust him and now I thought at first that he was up here to see grace up here to see grace George to see grace because they both LS came on the same time and the same postmark and to see grace H why should why should George come to see grace and idea maybe because they came from the same town you remember ma that Grace's letter and George's letter came on the same day but we also said it was coincidental but Mar Grace and George came off the same train it's also coincidental that's why you I was suspicious the suspicious and from suspicion came love yes so suddenly does George know loly that uh that you have money I don't know I think everybody knows that I was going to give Grace my college money and now I told you Mama darling I need what I have for myself oh that's final yes well very well the money is your Ros Pap and me saved it for you Penny to Penny we wanted it for your college but Grace said her sister's in such terrific troubles otherwise it would be for your college you go to college Rosalie you'll be able maybe what kind of a life are you thinking of Rosalie what am I sitting here and hearing him and and I'm just sitting and I'm just listening what am I listening to rosley Darling George is a man with years years of a kind of life you don't know
