About This Quote

You will like her," he persisted. "Egad, she's after your own heart, maman! She shot me in the arm." This quote is from a scene in which M. M. Moleson is attempting to convince his mother that an attractive young woman named Mademoiselle Reine is worthy of his affection.

It is a scene very reminiscent of one from three years earlier, in which the young man was trying to convince his father to accept Mademoiselle Reine as a potential wife. The difference between the two scenes is that the son's father was so distrustful and skeptical that he refused to even consider the woman as a potential spouse, but the mother has become more open minded and accepting of other people and their relationships.
