Actually, everything belongs to both of us, but I was the one who had the lifelong dream of a horse ranch.
Actually, I would have thought it was a lot more - but then, he did pay cash for the house and clinic.
Actually, what I said was that no one got to the point that they couldn't use more money.
After Alex goes to work and Jonathan goes to school, Destiny and I do the chores.
Alex will be home soon and I have to get supper on.
All I know is that he gets defensive when I mention Uncle Fabrice.
All I know is what Mom and Dad taught me.
All Len wants out of me is information about Allen, and Howard couldn't care less where I am.
All right, but I don't like being kept in the dark about all this.
All this time I thought the company was interested in him because he could speak both Spanish and English.
Although she had said the words "I love you," several times, he had not uttered them.
Am I depositing enough money in the account?
And I don't believe a word that Hardenburg says, or Haugwitz either.
And I will be for a very long time.
And I'm glad I could be there when you needed me.
And now, my friends, please to excuse My lisping and my stammers; I, for this once, have done my best, And so--I'll make my manners.
Anyway, I only act fifteen, I'm really 19.
As a matter of fact, I'm beginning to feel pretty good.
As for sitting around doing nothing, I'm going to do something about that.
As soon as I finish the dishes...
Besides, I've spent enough of his money on it already.
Better. I think she was foundered.
But I felt it for you before we got married.
But I guess if we have, it's no worse than having a child out of wedlock.
But I have said they did not know you had a wound.
But I noticed some strawberries growing in one of the gardens, and some melons in another place.
But I think it's important that we're both aware of what's going on, don't you?
But I thought when people got married...
But I want to be with them.
But I wish we could find a way to get to the ground.
But I'm sure they were on another street.
But it would have been alright if I had?
By the way, neither Alex nor I drink.
By whoever invited all these other people - I suppose because she was someone I knew.
Can you call Katie while I make flight arrangements?
Carmen was right... about the way I really feel... about... you.
Did I ever tell you that you're the most handsome man I've ever seen?
Did I give Jonathan his fair share of attention?
Does that mean I'm supposed to change, or that what I'm wearing is considered casual?
Even after my illness I remembered one of the words I had learned in these early months.
First of all, I married Alex because I love him.
First of all, I wasn't the only one involved.
For a minute there I thought you were going to bolt and run.
For a minute there, I was ready to do just that.
For starters, I think I got derailed when you said your mother's name was Alexandrine.
Give me one of those polo shirts and I'll go wash up.
Good gracious, I believe I am.
He commented the other day that I was spending his money.
He had access to his part much earlier than I did, so he was able to make some investments that really paid off.
He respected the man who raised me, even when I rejected my natural father.
He said I could spend his money with a clear conscience.
He said I was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.
He won't need to destroy ME, for if I don't get something to eat pretty soon I shall starve to death, and so save him the trouble.
He's a big horse, but I couldn't make him carry the two of us in that terrain.
Here. I think this is yours.
His father died shortly after Alex was born, so I never met either of them.
History, Poetry, Mythology!--I know of no reading of another's experience so startling and informing as this would be.
Hop on my back and I'll take you across.
How do you figure I owe you anything?
I admire the effort and sacrifice you put into it.
I also see the pace of problem solving—and change in general—accelerating at an astonishing rate.
I always thought that was funny.
I always wondered if that was why Mom and Dad split up for a while - because Mom was used to a different lifestyle and social circle.
I am His gaze wandered over her face again.
I am in no hurry to resign my office and be planted, you may be sure.
I apologize for disrupting your dinner.
I appreciate everything you do.
I arranged to have their seamstress sew you one.
I be in fust gwade tomowow.
I came down with Felipa to get something to eat.
I came in a charter helicopter.
I came, I saw, I conquered, as the first baby in the family always does.
I can imagine why she wanted you to tell me.
I can only imagine how difficult this is for you.
I can see it in his eyes.
I can see plenty of nice gardens and fields down below us, at the edge of this city.
I can take care of myself.
I can't believe this is really happening.
I can't imagine what he was thinking to hide a thing like that from you.
I can't remember the name of it, but I think I would have remembered North Street.
I can't see any of the girls running the ranch... or wanting to, for that matter.
I cannot give you any more.
I ceased making the sound "wah-wah" only when I learned to spell the word.
I confess all these festivities and fireworks are becoming wearisome.
I could be a room mate – help you with the bills and pay rent.
I dated her a few times, but she was way out of my league.
I did and I thought he was going to bite my head off.
I did not know Alex would drink it.
I did not mean to hurt you.
I did not take your Dad away.
I did, but apparently that status changed.
I didn't ask about his family tree.
I didn't bring anything formal.
I didn't have much of an idea about the cost of raising children then, either.
I didn't know he spoke French.
I didn't know it would be like this.
I didn't know you felt that way.
I didn't know you were awake.
I didn't mean to be so disrespectful.
I didn't mean to scare you.
I didn't mean to yell at you, but you nearly scared me to death.
I didn't realize what a mess it was.
I didn't realize you felt that way.
I didn't tell Howard or anyone else anything about you.
I didn't think I would feel this way.
I don't believe you are a Wizard at all!
I don't deserve someone like you.
I don't eat much – or go any place.
I don't have the money to do anything right now.
I don't have to defend myself against Alex.
I don't know that, but it doesn't matter.
I don't know what's been bothering you lately, but if I've done something, I wish you would tell me.
I don't know why he is so secretive.
I don't know why she didn't ask for it before - or why she didn't tell me about the baby.
I don't like him, she added in a tone admitting of no rejoinder and raising her eyebrows.
I don't like it when you're rough like that.
I don't mean to make her feel unwelcome, but it was her own carelessness that got her into this situation.
I don't need a boyfriend.
I don't need help with the bills.
I don't remember ever feeling underdressed, though.
I don't see how that's any different than you trying to protect me.
I don't see Tessa right now.
I don't see why it matters.
I don't speak of Anatole, your youngest.
I don't think it's a gender-based decision - not at this point, anyway.
I don't think of it that way.
I don't want to be in the middle of your feud.
I don't want to bond with a child only to have it taken away.
I don't want to go to the hospital.
I don't want to put her to bed too early, though.
I don't want to put the girls out of a home.
I don't want you to give it up because of me.
I don't want you to lose anything, but you know I'd want to be with you even if we didn't have a dime to our name.
I don't want you to start feeling neglected.
I doubt if she'll go to you.
I doubt that... but you never know.
I figured you could use the rest.
I gave him some orange juice.
I graduated two years ahead of her and didn't keep in touch.
I guess because the only one who should be looking at it is my husband.
I guess because the way she acted while we were there.
I guess he's always been a part of me... one I've wasted most of my life trying to remove.
I guess I always knew he was secretive - even you to some degree.
I guess I can't deny that, but in all these years, why hasn't Uncle Fabrice's name come up in a conversation at least once?
I guess I didn't think about it that way.
I guess I should have told you that.
I guess I wasn't very polite, making a face like that.
I guess I'd wonder too, if I were in your shoes.
I guess it does sound dull when I talk about it, but it's never dull to me, and Alex seems to be happy with things.
I guess it was storming so bad that they didn't see or hear the train.
I guess maybe hearing people talk... about their marriage.
I guess that's a good question.
I guess that's what they mean by cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I guess the only thing he wanted more than that was a good woman and children.
I guess the way I've acted... not telling you things - what else could you think?
I guess there's nothing we can do here.
I guess violet eyes are unusual, but I think they look the same from my viewpoint.
I guess we both had a change of heart, didn't we?
I guess we could say he hasn't been around much.
I had connections no one else did.
I had grand plans to build and run a large-scale horse ranch.
I hadn't thought of it that way.
I hate to dispute you, but I'm not miserable.
I have a mare; and we have a five-year-old mare with a colt, a four year-old filly, and a two-year-old filly... oh, and my mare is going to foal again in January.
I have enough on my plate already.
I have everything packed.
I have faith only in God and the lofty destiny of our adored monarch.
I have his name, but he is not my father.
I have let her do this, but now I tell her she must be respectful.
I have much to work with!
I have talked with Dulce.
I have the same need to nurture and protect.
I have to clean the barn.
I haven't had any female company in months.
I heard she was pretty humiliated when she found out.
I heard someone was staying with you.
I heard they had the airport cleared for flights now that it's stopped snowing.
I hope it's not that unpleasant.
I hope to have a love like yours some day.
I hope you accept this by the time the baby is born.
I imagine that took a chunk out of his savings.
I just can't believe this.
I just didn't see any point in spending money on new clothes when my old ones still had a lot of wear in them.
I just think it's time I stopped leaning on everyone.
I just thought it would be fun for the man to tell the wife this for once.
I just want it to be healthy.
I just want to do my part, and I can't if I don't have all the facts.
I just want to protect you...
I just want to talk to you.
I just wanted to ask you a question.
I just wish you'd stop hiding everything from me.
I just wonder what his angle is.
I knew because he proved to me that I could trust him with my heart and soul - the way you trust your mother and father.
I knew you'd be upset and there is nothing you can do... nothing I can do.
I know life would have been a lot simpler for me.
I know who wou best fwiend is.
I know you must be tired, so I will let you rest.
I know you would stand beside me - maybe even in front of me with the intent of protecting me.
I know you're not going to be right 100% of the time.
I know you've been preoccupied, but everyone else has noticed his interest in you.
I know, but he makes the decisions.
I know, but now Alex is sick.
I know, we've been all through this before - but I still don't understand.
I live with my mother and daughter.
I lived there two years and two months.
I lost track of time until Alex came along and revived my interest in the ranch.
I love thinking about the future.
I mean - does he tell you what to cook for supper and what to wear?
I mean, one you have a chance of winning.
I mean, that they didn't feel this way all the time.
I mean, there are different kinds of love.
I mean, why are you going?
I mean, you let Dulce believe you talked me into this surrogacy thing.
I must apologize for Dulce.
I must be boring you to death.
I must put in an appearance there, said the prince.
I need to get my purse and clothes out of the car.
I need to go to the bathroom.
I never doubted the devotion of the Russian nobles, but today it has surpassed my expectations.
I never knew there was so much.
I never met Grandma and Grandpa Barret.
I never thought I could do it.
I pretend like I know what's right and wrong, but I don't.
I probably wouldn't have known the difference, though.
I really don't want to talk about it.
I really like the look of wood - especially when it looks this graceful.
I remember because you seemed so sincere.
I remembered how isolated these roads were, but I forgot how dangerous they were.
I reminded him that he said he went to Columbia because he needed the money.
I said I'd take you and I'm a man of my word.
I see I have frightened you--sit down and tell me all the news.
I see no point in telling him.
I should get rid of this and buy something a little more feminine.
I should have anticipated this.
I should have been with them tonight.
I should have known you would feel this way.
I should have shown it to you in private - prepared you for it.
I shouldn't have talked to you that way.
I simply want to follow his lead.
I slipped from my mother's lap and almost ran toward them.
I started the dairy and everything I had went into getting it into the black.
I suppose he wanted to help.
I suppose it depends on the driver.
I suppose no place is better than home on Christmas.
I suppose so, but I thought I could work it out.
I suppose they're both a little artificial.
I sure hope you're going to deliver what you've been promising all evening.
I sure wish I had said something to you earlier, Sherlock.
I take my responsibility to you and our children seriously.
I thank you in the name of the Fatherland!
I think a few days cleaning in the stable would pay for it.
I think everyone was guilty of staring at her at least once - if for no other reason, wondering if she was going to fall out of her dress.
I think I know what you mean.
I think I scared about ten years off my life too.
I think I shall keep this Wizard until a new Sorcerer is ready to pick, for he seems quite skillful and may be of use to us.
I think I'll work in the garden for a while, after I get my chores done.
I think I'm catching a cold though.
I think it is so cute the way you two flirt with each other.
I think it's highly likely - especially given the circumstances.
I think maybe Alex married you to get away from his family.
I think maybe she would like this, yes?
I think she was merely directing the comment at you because she thought you might want to know.
I think that's sufficient.
I think that's why Alex feels the way he does about money.
I think the milk is coming in.
I think we've both had a lot on our minds lately.
I think you still need someone here, but you're definitely getting better.
I think you're the most perfect person I've ever met.
I thought it would be better if I slept here.
I thought maybe by now you would have adjusted.
I thought that was the best way to carry her.
I thought you didn't judge people by their pocketbooks.
I thought you had finally accepted that the money belonged to both of you.
I thought you needed to sleep longer because you were working so hard getting ready.
I told you there was nothing going on between us.
I told you, he told you... as you said, he even offered to let you look at his files.
I want this baby as much as you do, Alex.
I want to be a part of your life.
I want to be able to focus on solving this problem, not worrying about what might be said or done to you.
I want to be that way, Carmen.
I was a little surprised at the invitation.
I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to arrive.
I was going to tell you - as soon as I had a handle on it.
I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, so I got up and dressed.
I was talking with Morino until almost midnight.
I was thinking about buying a new vehicle and wondered if we had the money, so I looked at his financial information on the computer.
I was watching for some encouraging sign.
I wasn't even aware that I was staring at her... there.
I went to college and studied animal husbandry.
I will stay with you tonight so you can rest.
I will take care of Alex.
I will watch for a while.
I wish everyone wore rose-colored glasses the way you do.
I wish that was all she wanted.
I wish we had never come here.
I wish you could hear yourself talking.
I wish you had called me.
I wish you had said something earlier.
I won't say anything to Alex about it.
I wonder why it is that we can walk so easily in the air.
I work as well as I sleep, he added, with a laugh.
I would have accepted responsibility.
I would have figured it was his.
I would have seen the train.
I would have so much to look at!
I would have thought a gender oriented decision would upset you, but you seem to be on his side.
I would introduce you to Tessa, yes?
I would like small children to be there.
I would not have left them out of my will - I could not.
I wouldn't change anything.
I wouldn't lie to you, Carmen - not intentionally, anyway.
I'd be glad to help you with supper.
I'd better get her ready for bed.
I'd better not come up there, though.
I'd like to, but if it's too much trouble...
I'd rather not talk about it.
I'll be home in a few minutes.
I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning to relieve Carmen, so I'll drop you off at Katie's.
I'll go wherever you go - and I'll be happy there.
I'll go, but this isn't over.
I'll introduce you when I find her.
I'll just have to take naps while she's asleep.
I'll lend you one of my night gowns and find some clothes for you to wear in the morning.
I'll prepare little Natalie.
I'll ride back to the house and get my car and a chain.
I'll ride with the last ambulance.
I'll show you where you can sleep.
I'll take care of the others if you want to watch the kids.
I'm afraid I've been putting on weight.
I'm as hungry as the horse is, and I want my milk.
I'm glad you saved me the trouble.
I'm going back to the old place in the mountains.
I'm going to feed the chickens.
I'm not all that secretive, but you were the one who kept telling me that if he wanted you to know, he'd tell you.
I'm not asking you to punish the men.
I'm not ever going to know them if I never meet them, am I?
I'm not going home until you talk to me.
I'm not going to hurt you.
I'm not very good at that anyway.
I'm saying their lives will be complicated enough without us adding problems to it.
I'm sorry I kept you waiting, but Tessa had nothing to do with it.
I'm sorry I've been such a poor companion.
I'm sorry, but there is no mistake.
I'm sure he doesn't think that.
I'm sure that had a lot to do with it - that and the connections.
I'm sure you feel guilty, but it's fortunate that you weren't with them.
I'm the one who should be apologizing - for dragging you into this.
I've been getting the feeling she is trying to break us up.
I've been going on and on.
I've been so focused on sin that I have been...
I've been thinking about rigging up something on the front to catch the webs.
I've cut enough here for supper.
I've never had anything to do with drugs.
I've never thought about it before.
I've seen opossums that weren't afraid of me, though.
I've spoken to the school and you can take the bus from there.
I've taken up enough of his time.
If he treats me differently than others, I'm sure it's because we are married.
If I didn't want to do what he said I'd tell him so - and he would listen to my reasons.
If I had remembered this it would have prevented some mistakes.
If I would be in danger, then so would you.
If she was, I didn't know about it.
If you put me in jail again, when I get out there won't be a safe place for you.
If you'll just point the way, I'll be glad to go by myself.
In fact, I think Uncle Fabrice had him convinced that he couldn't sell a cheeseburger to a starving man.
In the strict sense of the word I am not a Wizard, but only a humbug.
In this book, I maintain the future will be without ignorance, disease, hunger, poverty, and war, and I support those assertions with history, data, and reason.
It doesn't matter to me one way or another, but I wish you would at least make an effort at seeing his side of it.
It is a little speech that I have written for him.
It makes me feel small when you keep things from me - like you don't trust me, or you think I'm not mature enough to handle it.
It was the word "water," and I continued to make some sound for that word after all other speech was lost.
It's great and I love it.
Jonathan and I will make sure we fill her in on anything she missed.
Just because it upsets me doesn't mean I don't want to know - or that you shouldn't tell me.
Just remember, I'll always be there – whenever you need me.
Let me see you equal the sorcery I am about to perform.
Maybe I shouldn't have said anything right there...
Maybe if I'd been with them...
Maybe not, but it would have made a difference if I had known how you felt.
Maybe she thinks I'm the only thing keeping you from doing that.
Never have I found in the greenhouses of the North such heart-satisfying roses as the climbing roses of my southern home.
No, but I can't sit on the fence forever - and I do want another baby.
No, I think I've seen enough.
Not like I wanted to take him away from the man who had been a Dad to him.
Nothing. I was just thinking about technology.
Now go away or I'll call the police.
Now I have reinforcements.
Perhaps I don't understand things, but Austria never has wished, and does not wish, for war.
She has already apologized and I have accepted her apology.
She will have the baby for us because I have no womb, but it is our baby.
Sit down and I'll fill you in a little.
So I say the horses and chickens are mine and Alex says the other animals are his.
Some day maybe I will find someone like Alex.
Still, Alex was a good salesman, I guess.
That I am not prepared to say.
That I've been making you miserable.
That's the soonest I could get a flight.
That's why I didn't tell you.
The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior.
The only danger I'm in is financial.
The way I heard it, Grandma & Grandpa Barret were rolling in money and Dad wasn't up to their standards... financially.
Then I have supper ready when he comes home.
Then it must have happened while I was asleep, he said thoughtfully.
Then when she learned about Tessa's son, she was furious because he might inherit - even though I hadn't said anything to father.
There, too, after a fit of temper, I went to find comfort and to hide my hot face in the cool leaves and grass.
They have decided that Buonaparte has burnt his boats, and I believe that we are ready to burn ours.
They said she'd be sleepy because of the medicine, so I'll try to sleep while she is asleep.
They tell me I walked the day I was a year old.
They used to hang in long festoons from our porch, filling the whole air with their fragrance, untainted by any earthy smell; and in the early morning, washed in the dew, they felt so soft, so pure, I could not help wondering if they did not resemble the asphodels of God's garden.
This was not the light in which I hoed them.
Tomorrow Uncle Henry and I must start back for Kansas.
Very. I'm so glad we have you and Jonathan.
We... actually, I... was thinking about adopting a few wild horses from out west where they have too many.
We're probably all a little hypocritical at times - and we're all sinners, so I hear.
We've already established that I'm not an heir.
Well, for starters, I'd have had to compete with every other guy in school.
Well, I guess we were making everyone else feel uncomfortable.
Well, I haven't seen her, but... what does the doctor say?
Well, I hope I don't have a gallon of milk in there!
Well, it's nice to know where I stand.
Well, whatever we do, I'd like to do it as a family.
Well... I guess so, in a way.
What are you going to hide from me that I haven't already seen?
When I left the room, she was sweating until even her hair was wet.
When I realized she intended to get you drunk it went all through me.
When I said you were the father, you couldn't believe it.
When we were in Texas, I got the feeling that Señor Medena loved Alex - that he was saddened by the way Alex rejected him.
When you bring the babies home, can I come stay with you for a while and help take care of them?
Why would you think I was talking about Dulce?
Would it have been better if I had fallen off and broken my neck?
Yes. But I like taking care of my children.
Yes... I just wanted to let you know that the twins were born this morning.
You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
You know, I just thought of something.
You spring something on me and then you just shut me out - like what I feel isn't important.
You thought I lied to you.
