  • Francis Urquhart: Playing with the hopes and dreams of a daughter, now gentle, now hard, rebuking and rewarding, chastising and forgiving. The pleasures of a father. Of a father of daughters.

    Mattie Storin: Just like a prefect, head of house sort of thing... I'm sorry, that sounds very cheeky.
    Francis Urquhart: Not at all. That's exactly what it's like.
    Mattie Storin: Everyone says you're very good at it.
    Francis Urquhart: I believe I am, Mattie. I believe I am.
