"I knew you would be sorry for me. Never would Marion treat her father in a way so disrespectful and disobedient, eh, dear?"
"While I live I never will say farewell to you, my dear Father."
"You will always obey my wishes, I know."
"When I can, yes, when I can I will always gladly obey them."
"Do I not know what is best for you?"
"Not always, you might be wrong sometimes, Father—everybody is wrong sometimes—but, even so, I would obey you if I could."
