"I would not be surprised. As I am told, such is the hallmark of the nobility. Then again, they didn't seem to understand the moral of the story of that priest, so perhaps not. Very sweet girls, Triel and Angelique, and pretty, but not the brightest pair, those two."
"Yes, carrying and using are very different. In fact, the difference between appearing to be capable of doing something and actually being capable is crucial in many power plays among both the nobility and church...As for Father, it seems to me that the Tear is more important to him than Marie, but only insomuch as if he is correct, then the Tear's destruction would mean the death of Marie and all the rest of us. I would think he believes that it is better for Marie to be alive and unhappy in this Pumpernickel's clutches than for all of us to be dead, but if he has the chance to save everyone and punish the varlet who dared demand his darling youngest daughter, and if the plan seems unlikely to backfire, then it would be worth it to try. I suppose it is lucky that Marie is probably Father's favourite daughter. Other men tell me that Sabine is the more beautiful of the two, but Father has always had a soft spot for little Marie."

"Who could pay attention to the moral when they are making mooney eyes at you" teases Tristan.
"It is a difficult choice I agree and at times you need to cut a horse from the team to ensure the carriage makes the trip, but Marie is a pretty filly. Though Sabine still owes me a dance. I can only assure you Tommy I will do all in my power for your sister and your family. I have a score to settle with that Baker. I liked that shirt." says Tristan as he starts directing servants to bring meat and cheese as though he himself were the son of the lord and not merely accompanying him. But Tristan did really like that shirt.
