• Judge Lord Thomas Horfield : Must I listen to more of your silly pity for every scoundrel, man or woman...

  Lady Sophie Horfield : I do pity her! Who needs pity more than a woman who's sinned?

  Judge Lord Thomas Horfield : You always forget that punishment is part of the scheme! An extremely necessary part of it.

  Lady Sophie Horfield : Doesn't life punish us enough, Tommy? Doesn't it? Why should we hurt each other? We've no right to be cruel. If I'm certain of anything, it's of that.

• Lady Sophie Horfield : Oh, that poor woman. Couldn't you do something for her?

  Judge Lord Thomas Horfield : How dare you speak to one of His Majesty's judges like that, you silly woman?
