“You are shameless!�� he said angrily.
“Nonsense! You only say so because I drove your horses,�� she answered. “Never mind! I will engage not to do so again.��
“I’ll take care of that!�� he retorted. “Let me tell you, my dear Cousin, that I should be better pleased if you would refrain from meddling in the affairs of my family!��
“Now, that,�� said Sophy, “I am very glad to know, because if ever I should desire to please you I shall know just how to set about it. I daresay I shan’t, but one likes to be prepared for any event, however unlikely.��
He turned his head to look at her, his eyes narrowed, and their expression was by no means pleasant. “Are you thinking of being so unwise as to cross swords with me?�� he demanded. “I shan’t pretend to misunderstand you, Cousin, and I will leave you in no doubt of my own meaning! If you imagine that I will ever permit that puppy to marry my sister, you have yet something to learn of me!��
“Pooh!�� said Sophy. “Mind your horses, Charles, and don’t talk fustian to me.”

“I imagine that your parental feeling, sir, must provide you with the answer! If it does not, so be it! I am leaving immediately!��
“What do you mean to do when you reach Lacy Manor?�� asked Sir Horace, regarding him in some amusement.
“Wring Sophy’s neck!�� said Mr. Rivenhall savagely.
“Well, you don’t need my help for that, my dear boy!�� said Sir Horace, settling himself more comfortably in his chair.”

“We're like Romeo and Juliet."
"We're both going to die?" he asks in alarm.
"Smart Romeo and Juliet."
"You're going to kill my cousin?" He seems less alarmed about this.
"I take it you don't like your cousin?"
"He's a bit of an asshole, if I'm being honest."
"I'm glad you've embraced being Juliet.”

“Mr. Rivenhall said to Sophy, “If this is your doing��!��
“I promise you it is not. If I thought that he had the smallest notion of your hostility, I should say that he had rolled you up, Charles, foot and guns!��
He was obliged to laugh. “I doubt if he would have the smallest notion of anything less violent than a blow from a cudgel. How you can tolerate the fellow!��
“I told you that I was not at all nice in my ideas. Come, don’t let us talk of him! I have sworn an oath to heaven not to quarrel with you today.��
“You amaze me! Why?��
“Don’t be such an ape!�� she begged. “I want to drive your grays, of course!”

“My dear cousin means the world to me. He is my only ally and I lost him. Deep in my heart I know he didn’t want to blame me but his heart is set on that training and I had been beginning to think that took priority over family. I hope he would see reason but I can't not blame him if he doesn't. Breaking free from this castle is a dream not only held by me.
But I can't imagine having to reason with someone who stole your future.”
