Little House on the Prairie1974

Anna Craig:
I have a confession to make, if I may, Reverend.

Reverend Robert Alden:
Of course you may. That's what reverends are for.

Anna Craig:
Well, I... I love a particular neighbor of mine very much.

Reverend Robert Alden:
I see.

Anna Craig:
It's you.

Reverend Robert Alden:
[laughs nervously] That's... that's very Christian of you, Mrs. Craig. Um... I of course, care about you, in that pure, platonic, rational affection between two of God's creatures.

Anna Craig:
Oh, no Reverend! It's not platonic, and it's not rational! It's a love that surpasseth all understanding.

Reverend Robert Alden:
Oh Dear... Uh... The way the Lord loves us, you might say: Spiritual and sublime.

Anna Craig:
Reverend Alden, I love you. The way a woman loves a man.

Reverend Robert Alden:
If you'll excuse me, Mrs. Craig, um, it's getting late. I have to be going. I want to thank you for everything. [Runs out the door]
