Malva: Yesterday we were sayin' how remarkable it is that you're a physician, you being a lady. Weren't we, Allan?
Allan: Yeah. We were, particularly when others might accuse such women of witchcraft and the like.
Claire: Well, if I should need to sharpen my broomstick or my surgeon's knives, Mr. Christie, I'll come to you first.
Malva: He doesn't take the slightest bit of interest in the subject of healing, whereas I am eager to learn.
Claire: If you'd like to accompany me in the morning, my daughter Marsali is with child, and I'm going to examine her. You might find it interesting.
Allan: Malva has duties to attend to at home.
Claire: Well, perhaps another time.
