Charles Godwin:
[Rushing to the school room upon hearing Louisa throwing a tantrum from being locked inside the school room finding the door locked]
Open the door.
Louisa:
Papa! Papa!
Charles Godwin:
[Pounds on the door]
Miss Laurier, open this door at once!
[Elisabeth opens the door and locks it behind her]
Charles Godwin:
What do you think you're doing? Open the door!
Elisabeth:
No, sir.
[Charles tries to get the key from behind Elisabeth's back]
Louisa:
Please, Papa! Come here, please!
Charles Godwin:
I will not have you treat my daughter like this.
Elisabeth:
Would you have her grow up ignorant and friendless?
Charles Godwin:
I'll *NOT* have her imprisoned!
Elisabeth:
She cares for no one but you, and so *NO ONE* cares for her!
Charles Godwin:
Give me the key.
Elisabeth:
She's unhappy and lonely. She doesn't know who she is, or what she is to do or why!
[Charles manhandles Elisabeth attempting to get the key again]
Louisa:
Papa, help me! Papa I want you!
Elisabeth:
I can help her. I know I can. But first she must be taught to obey me.
Charles Godwin:
If you harm so much as one hair on her head...
Elisabeth:
[Incensed]
Do you think *I* of all people would ever hurt her?
Elisabeth:
I'll make you a promise; Whatever I do to Louisa I'll do to myself. You want her to love you. I want her to *be* loved.
