The Cochran ResidenceMorristown, New JerseyApril 1780
Oh, Eliza, this poor boy was so delirious when he arrived at the Pastures that he had no idea where he was. I have no idea how he found us. He rode all the way to Albany and back in four days, really. Three of those days were spent abed-where he should still be, if you ask me.
But how did you.....I mean you just disappeared....
And, you're not hurt?
It's fine, Eliza, it's fine. I'm here now. I'll explain everything. Or, well, your mother will, because I'm afraid I don't remember much.
Just a scratch.
Oh, nonsense! I can't believe you risked your life for me!
A scoundrel like that will seek out his own justice eventually. Although I, too, wish I could be the one to mete it out.

It is behind us now, and a brighter future lies ahead. That is, if Eliza will still have you.
What?
There was a question on the table, that Colonel Hamilton put to you, before you so rudely fainted into his arms.
Oh, I would not call it rude. I would call it charming.
Wh-what? I mean-can I? You seemed so against it before.
Well, charming or rude, she shouldn't leave the poor boy hanging!
The poor boy agrees!

There are families whose greatness lies in their past, and in their legacies. That is a quality much to be admired, for tradition is what binds us as a society. But there are some families, like in some nations, whose greatness is a future development, and that quality, though harder to discern than the prestige of manor houses and coats off arms and titles of rank and office, is no less valuable, if, indeed, not more so.
What Mrs. Schuyler is saying, is that the Schuyler's who would be honored by a union with so brilliant and noble a personage as Colonel Hamilton.
So can I marry him? I can say yes?
Then, yes! Yes, yes, and yes, I will marry you! Yes! Yes! Yes!
