JANE
Ah ain't denyin' that!
CARTER
She must 'a' liked him a little or it wouldn't 'a' happened.
JANE
And he must 'a' liked huh a little, too!
CARTER
Why should I have to pay, then, if she's as much to blame as he is!
{{c|JANE You kin stand there and talk like that if you want to, but if Ah'd say let's punish 'em both and make 'em get married you'd set up a big howl!
CARTER
Wouldn't I have a right to?
JANE
Ah don't know that you would! She's as good as he is, and it wouldn't be the first time that ever happened in these parts!
CARTER
But it ain't goin' to happen this time.
JANE
Ah know it ain't, and that ain't what Ah'm after. Ah don't believe in no forced marriages.
CARTER
What is you after?
JANE
Ah want you to do somethin' for ma children to make up for the harm that's come to us by you and yours.
