Mary Bennet
Mary, be honest. Did anyone in that house ever really listen to you?
Papa listened once, I believe. In the year ‘05. It was a Tuesday.
That can’t be true.
You are right. It may have been a Wednesday. One learns not to dwell.
But you are listening now — which rather proves my point about patience being rewarded.
