For she has seen the love that these two have for each other, and recognised it. But she softens her approach, and by the end, even has a kind of basic respect for the two, behind her frosty exterior. She cannot back down – in practical, surviving terms, she is in the right. But the conversation develops, and gradually, we realise a change in the mother. She treats the two as children, with their heads in the clouds. At the beginning of the scene, the mother is sceptical. These are hard times – all three know it. There is a scene, about two thirds of the way through, in which an older woman, mother to three children, sits down with her eldest daughter and the boy she has fallen in love with, and for about five minutes, they speak to each other.
