The Age of Innocence Samples

MAY: Let's talk frankly, Newland.  Sometimes I've felt a difference in you, especially
     since our engagement.

ARCHER : Since our engagement?

MAY: If it's untrue then it won't hurt to talk about it.  And if it's true...why
     shouldn't we talk about it now?  You might have made a mistake.

ARCHER: If I'd made some sort of mistake, would I be down here asking you to hurry our
        marriage?

MAY: I don't know.  You might.  It would be one way to settle the question.

MAY: Whatever it may have been, Newland, I couldn't have my happiness made out of a wrong
     to somebody else.  We couldn't build a life on a foundation like that.  If promises
     were made...and there's any way you can fulfill your pledge...even by her getting a divorce...Newland, don't give her up because of
     me!

MAY: "Granny's telegram was successful.  Papa and Mama agreed to marriage after Easter.
     Only a month?!  I will telegraph Newland.  I'm too happy for words and love you
     dearly.  Your grateful cousin May."

MAY: Newland, you can find some way to spend the afternoon, can't you?

ARCHER: Oh I think for a change I'll just save it instead of spending it.
