The Gift of Love1978

Mary O'Halloran:
You're practicing to be old before your time. I don't know what you aunt and uncle are thinking of; arranging a match like that!

Beth Atherton:
[Defensively] They're thinking of my future. They don't want me running of with a penny-less music teacher like my mother did.

Mary O'Halloran:
Did that end up so bad?

Beth Atherton:
[Softens] Bad? My parent's house was the most wonderful place in the world.

Mary O'Halloran:
Well then...

Beth Atherton:
That was different then. They were so much in love with each other that nothing else mattered. A love like that just doesn't come along everyday.

Mary O'Halloran:
Well maybe you...

Beth Atherton:
[Interrupts] No! I don't want to talk about it. My Uncle William's heart was broken when my mother ran off with my father

Mary O'Halloran:
[Sympathetic] Oooh.

Beth Atherton:
That's what Aunt Constance said... an even though he never got over it, he was kind enough to take me in after my parents died... and now I can make up to him for all the pain.

Mary O'Halloran:
I bet your Aunt Constance told you that too.
