| Rose has reagined most of her health. A car pulls up carrying the son of Mrs. Mailey, Harry. |
|
 | Mother! Why did you not write before? I lover her and you must know it! | |
|
| I know that she deserves the best and purest love the heart of man can offer,” said Mrs. Maylie; “I know that the devotion and affection of her nature require no ordinary return, but one that shall be deep and lasting. If I did not feel this, and know, besides, that a changed behaviour in one she loved would break her heart, I should not feel my task so difficult of performance, or have to encounter so many struggles in my own bosom, when I take what seems to me to be the strict line of duty. | |

|
| How unkind of you, mother. I vow to love Rose with all my heart for eternity. Let me prove it. | |

|
| Harry asks Rose to marry him. She says she loves him, but she can not marry him . She does not want to be a stain on his career in parliment, as she was such a different social standing. He states that within the next year, he will ask once again. If she still says no, he will not ask again. |
