BETTY:
Ben is in love? With me? I would think that clucking batch of hens were playing some kind of trick on me, just making stuff up. But Aunt Sue… she wouldn’t lie. She’s old. She wants to make sure she gets into heaven. So it must be true. Ben loves me. And the others think that I would shun him. That I would scoff
at him just because the poor guy has feelings for me. Or that I’d gloat ‘cuz he finds me so beautiful.I wouldn’t gloat. It ain't his fault I'm so darn pretty. And I’d never be cruel like that. I don’t hate Ben. He’s just an ugly and obnoxious rattlesnake of a cuss, is all. In fact, I don’t even think he’s that ugly. Fact of the matter is, he’s kinda cute in his own stupid way. Charming if you think about it. I guess I like him all right. You might even say I… oh my word… I’m kinda sweet on him! Why... I... I love the varmint!
