 * “I had a mother who wanted no hassles or complications, no agonising, so she let it be; there had to be a master. So she cooked, she worked, she brought me and Morgan up. She taught herself to keep accounts and learned to keep her mouth shut and her eyes closed.” (Val, pg 113, episode 4)


 * “... [Ivor Thomas's] every word was Holy Writ and who was ignorant about anything, except how to bring animals up alive and keep them living until he wanted them dead." (Val, pg 113, episode 4)
