lead.
When we are married, will you dance with me? ... I find dancing very agreeable.[pause]
Why can you not say what is in your head?
Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance, I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak, I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time I wake?
[pause]
What good can come from my saying I- I sometimes cannot think clearly, or do my work properly? What gain can rise from my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do...
...is when I think of you in harm?
[pause]
That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others.
And, yes...
...I will dance with you on our wedding night.

Ivy's ways remind me of mine... forever surrounded by males, heh, and more inclined to lead than follow.
But we all learn to follow, do we not?
