[ Mia's hands on her hair are soothing. It brings back memories of childhood - her sister braiding her hair, playing with it. While Mia envies Prim's hair, Prim has always envied Mia's, a little. Hair that blue is pretty. ]
Fear of our mother is something I can believe. It's a healthy state of mind. [Mrs. Rogers was a wonderful woman and a loving mother and her opinions were right there in front of anyone who crossed her.]
I can't wait to see you in your gown again. Will you try to wait until I get back from work?
I don't think so, either, but it's so hard to tell these days. There's always a fight at the factory. [It gives her headaches to treat the same people day in and day out, just because they can't grasp the mindset of their working or striking coworkers.] The violence of some people, Rosie, promise me you'll do something with your life that doesn't involve seeing such pain all the time.

Of course I will. I don't think you ought to be getting back late enough that it would be a chore, you know.

I hope so, too. And I don't want to see Theodore hurt, but imagine if he arrived to find both of us taking care of him.
