Tom, why do you avoid me? Can't you let bygones be bygones?
gpt
That is exactly what I am doing, Mrs. Huntington: letting bygones be bygones. It seems a useless thing for us to rake up the past.

Well, I gathered you did not think much of the name of Lizzie since you have changed your daughter's to Elise.
gpt
Oh, Tom, you are cruel!

Now see here, Mrs. Huntington, I do not want to be rude to you. I have lived in total ignorance of you and your affairs for twenty-five years, and since by chance we meet on a steamer, you cannot make me feel that what I do or say is of the slightest importance to you. You made the young Tom Kinsella about as miserable as a man could be, but the old Tom is immune from misery, thank God, and there is no use in trying to get a flame from the dead ashes of the past. I am very glad to see you again and especially glad to make the acquaintance of the daughter of my old friend, George O'Brien.

You forgive George but do not forgive me.
