Greer: I can't be ruled by desire. It's nothing to build a life on.
Kenna: Isn't it?
Greer: You and Bash? If I have to hear one more tale of the two of you knocking your bed though the floor...
Kenna: Well, the floor is made of stone, mercifully, although we have nearly cracked the bed in two. You can't overlook passion! It's what brought us together.

Lola: And now I fear your happiness has come to undermine your compassion.
Mary: My compassion is for you! As it is yours that rules you in this moment. Your cage is invisible but it rules you just the same. And has it ever occurred to you that your cage is of your own making? That the bars formed the minute you decided to sleep with the man I loved knowing I loved him still?

Mary: Lola! Don't you turn your back on me. I am more than your friend. I am your Queen!
Lola: Is there something I left out, your Majesty?
Mary: You were right. It would be better if you were housed elsewhere. The better to keep you out of my sight.

This ball is as enjoyable as a clergyman's eulogy. Why aren't the young people dancing? Not you, of course, in your condition. Louis, saves of this dirge, and take Greer with you. I feel more kindly toward her as we get closer to her marriage with that spectacularly rich Castleroy.

Catherine

Mary: Can you please stop feeling guilty and stay with the people who love you? Stay as my friend, as one of my ladies so that our children can grow up to be as close as we are.
Lola: Nothing would make me happier. Well there is one thing. No decision has been made on a godmother. I want it to be you. I know it puts you in an awkward position, but there is no one I trust more with my child than you.
Mary: I would be honored.

Narcisse: You've heard the rumors, the damning rumors of the treatment of my past wives.
Lola: Do you deny them?
Narcisse: Contrary to the reputation I enjoy, I am not a soulless animal.

Lola: Have you ever been in love?
Narcisse: That is a rare jewel I have yet to see.

Bash: There is always a reckoning and human or devil I think the riders play a part. Dark times are upon us. Plague, famine, King's following. The reckoning has begun.
Francis: And blood will pay for blood.

My dear, this was not an act of passion. It was treason.
