“Maybe you should tell me what you really think. - If I'm honest, I thought you'd make something of yourself. Meaning? - You were never satisfied. Always wanted more. Another book. Another piece of cake. Didn't want me to say goodnight. That's all children. - You were different. You know it. You wanted to leave Washford. You left Washford. You wanted to go to a fancy school. You got into one. You married up. You decided to become a lawyer. Well, okay. What happens now? Having a baby and going to school and working is hard. I should know. But that's not my worry for you. My worry is that you *won't* do that. That you'll give up your plan. You'll just be some man's wife. Some baby's mother. That's not the Emily I know.”
