What it sounds like
You are being inconsistent, aren’t you?
What it really means
“You taught us that love matters most, but now you accept that Sophie’s lower social class makes her an impossible match for me.”
Said today
“You’ve spent our whole lives saying love matters most, but now you’re fine with me giving it up because she’s a maid.”
What was happening
Violet is concerned about Benedict and Sophie, but asks him not to bring Sophie up. Benedict calls her hypocritical and reminds her that she has long championed marrying for love, even as class keeps him from being with Sophie.
