You've been here eight weeks and John and I know nothing of you. For me it is enough that you are here; but John is the head of the family and he feels that you ought to treat him with greater deference.

It is revolting to me to have a tsar in the family.
LETITIA
Your father and your father's father and grandfather were rulers of the Clay family.
NATHANIEL
I don't question that.
LETITIA
You can't change John.
