Aunt PA stood up in shock, "Miss, why are you unwilling to give Mr. Robinson a chance? Do you feel that this would be unfair to General Laurence?"
Alice Robinson quietly gazed into the distance and spoke softly, "I don't want to be his fallback... I'm well aware of his feelings for Becca. Right now, he's merely settling for second best because he can't have Becca. In the past, I might not have minded being his fallback because I loved him so deeply, all I wanted was to stay by his side. But now, I won't let myself live so humbly... Even if I can't marry Claud with a pure heart now, I won't accept Chester Robinson's impure heart."
