Ruth:
[Trudy is lacing up the back of Rose's corset, as Ruth enters with a stern look on her face]
Tea, Trudy.
Trudy Bolt:
Yes, ma'am.
[Trudy leaves, Ruth takes over with Rose's corset]

Ruth:
You are not to see that boy again, do you understand me?
[Rose doesn't respond, Ruth yanks hard on the laces]

Ruth:
Rose?
[Rose again doesn't answer]

Ruth:
I forbid it.
Rose:
Oh, stop it, Mother. You'll give yourself a nose bleed.
Ruth:
[spins Rose around to face her]
This is not a game. Our situation is precarious. You know the money's gone.
Rose:
Of course I know it's gone. You remind me every day.
Ruth:
Your father left us nothing but a legacy of bad debts hidden by a good name. That name is the only card we have to play.
[beat]

Ruth:
I don't understand you... it is a fine match with Hockley. It will ensure our survival!
Rose:
How can you put this on my shoulders?
Ruth:
Why are you being so selfish?
Rose:
I'M being selfish?
Ruth:
Do you want to see me working as a seamstress? Is that what you want? To see our fine things sold at auction? Our memories scattered to the wind?
[turns away with her voice breaking]

Rose:
[sighs]
It's so unfair.
Ruth:
Of course it's unfair. We're women. Our choices are never easy.
[she kisses Rose on the cheek, Rose turns back around and Ruth continues to lace her corset]
