Eleanor: I have to confess that I may have been the one to put the idea of a contract in Beatrice's head. I was just bragging about you and it didn't matter where you lived. No one can keep you from being your own person. And that is part of why you will be a wonderful mother.
Blair: Thank you for saying that. I know this isn't what you wanted for me. At least not yet.
Eleanor: These things happen when they happen. That's the first lesson of being a parent. Children don't do what you want them to do all the time, when you want them to do it. But you love them anyway.
