So, father, it is thus you deceive me! Very well, since things are come to such a pass, I openly declare to you that I shall not give up my love for Marianne. No! understand that henceforth there is nothing from which I shall shrink in order to dispute her with you; and if you have on your side the consent of the mother, perhaps I shall have some other resources left to aid me. (HAR: What, rascal! You dare to trespass on my grounds?) It is you who trespass on mine. I was the first. (HAR: Am I not your father, and do you not owe me respect?) There are things in which children are not called upon to pay deference to their fathers; and love is no respector of persons.
