| - Rona scoffs. "Forget Lady Belmore, girl. She has lands and coin to comfort her. Your family has nothing, and never will, if you refuse Gulian."
- "Gulian--sweet boy--says I'm worth all this trouble. But his mum's so angry... maybe he should go home, marry a lady instead of a poor girl."
- "Gulian will only be happy with the woman he loves. Marry, and be happy together."
- "Think of your father, Alyse. You owe him this marriage, to raise him from the plow."
- "You would let the man you love marry another woman?"
- "Lady Belmore is a threat to us all. For the good of our house, you must give Gulian up."
- "By the old gods, my heart would break, m'[lady/lord]. But I could live with that pain, if Gulian were happy."
- "Rona, is there any way Alyse could appease Lady Belmore?"
