AI OVERVIEW
Violet: “Your father has been gone ten years now, Anthony. Ten years in which I have watched you struggle to become the man he was. But a man such as he was would never abandon his family for a sinful infatuation.”
Anthony: “It is no infatuation, Mother. And my duties to this family stand apart from this.”
Violet: “Nothing stands apart! Every choice you make reflects upon your sisters. How do you expect Daphne to find a suitable match if her brother, the Viscount, spends his nights in the beds of opera singers? You do not only besmirch yourself; you besmirch the future of your sisters. You must choose: either you are the head of this house, or you are a man who follows his passions. You cannot be both.”
Anthony: “You are asking me to deny my heart.”
Violet: “I am asking you to honor your name. The time for play is over. Tomorrow the Season begins, and I expect you to be there—fully committed to your family, and not to that woman.”
