How many girls has your mother introduced you to over the years?" "Several." I answered. "And you rejected them all to chase a Bale. Is it worth it?" Yes. It is. But no one wants to hear that. Madeline is not like the rest of the girls I've been introduced to. Yes, she's from a wealthy background but she is not stuck up! She's real! Will I see her again? Absolutely yes! I'll probably lose my other hand but she's worth it! "I'm not going to answer that, sir." "The Bales had their shot when Nathaniel Bale was to marry your grandmother. He failed to honor the arrangement. They will not get another chance with a Pallis. I forbid this whim between you and that girl! You are not to see her again!
