Description Franklin growls, "I do not think conversation about social depravity is suitable for her ears.  How deeply have you proceed into your reseach."
Henry sees how he has angered Franklin but continues to talk of his research, "I have talked to men imprisoned for heinous crimes.  I have interviewed sodomites.  I have even talked to army veterans who committed hideous acts of cruelty towards the Indians that should make a good Christian cringe at the thought."
Franklin gasps, "you find fault with the ways we have treated those savages out west.  After the massacre of Custer and and the 7th Calvary? I must say Henry, I am beginning to have doubts if you are someone I want to be suiting my only daughter."
Henry whitens, "There are other doctors in Europe who are also opening up this field of research.  They are called Alientist..  I think if you approach this subject with a more open mind that you will see that how we can help society in understanding the criminal mind.  We will no longer considered those who commit crimes as depraved but rather as unfortunates created by their environment.  In fact I hope to create medicine that can help these people."
Franklin snaps back, "nonsense sir.  Now is this what you are using your inheritance upon?"
Henry tries to remain calm.  "yes in fact I am considering the purchase of a property where I can house and study the criminal mind."
Franklin shakes his head, "enough! Sir, the nature of your research in the proximity of my daughter deeply disturbs me.  As far as I am concerned I would rather you cease seeing my daughter."
Henry's jaw drops, "but in time you'll see..."
Franklin interrupts him,  "I will hear no more of this foolish talk."  He stands and looks for the steward for his hat and cane.  He then addresses Henry, "You labours Dr. Jekyll are foolish.  Ultimately this will lead you to no good."
Franklin then storms out of the restaurant.
