"Are you mad she ain't a son?" Marnie asked.Jacob tilted his head."Why would I be mad about that?" he asked. "Maybe she'll turn out just like her Mama.... I couldn't ask for anything better." I guess I just worried," she said. "I should have known better. But, well, I guess it's been drilled into my head that a father wants a son." Well, this father wants the baby Mama produced," Jacob assured her. "If I wasn't so clumsy I'd ask you if I could hold her. But, well, I'm scared of dropping. That is why I’m telling you that no woman other that you has any place in my heart.She regained the lovely proud look and you say that know but tomorrow when I go to my husband’s place you will not even remember me.

But since we didn't explicitly talk about me bringing other people into Dave's education, he's not willing to go along with it until he knows for sure that you're okay with it. I said it would be okay, but since it is a broader interpretation of my mandate he wanted to hear it from.
