Quote context

[...]

- Your crazy stuff about wanting to keep me away from the sea... don't go down with me.

- You just didn't want to be bothered with me.

- Oh, that ain't so, Anna.

- But one thing I never wrote you... it was one of them cousins that you think is such nice people... that started me wrong.

- And it was none of my fault. I hated him and he knew it.

- But he was big and strong, like you.

- That's why I ran away from the farm. That's what made me get a job as a nurse girl in St. Paul.

- You think that was a nice job for a girl, too, don't you? With all them nice inland fellas just looking for a chance to marry me. They weren't looking for marrying.

- You don't say nothing. Either one of you. But I know what you're thinking. You're just like all the rest.

- And who's to blame for it? Me or you? If you'd been a regular father and had me with you... things would've been different.
