Emma Fielding: Miss Galindo

Quotes 

• Miss Galindo : Mr. Carter, our work will be done by noon with so many hands assisting! And yet you told Lady Ludlow you were so overwhelmed with correspondence you could not cope without a dedicated clerk.

  Mr. Carter : I needed no help. I simply hope to help another!

• Miss Galindo : [to Mr. Carter]  I have the fondest respect for Lady Ludlow. But she will always look at Harry and see a poacher's child. Just as you will always look at me and see a woman.

• Miss Galindo : I know my presence does not please you. I had thought to stick my pen behind my ear and say "zounds" from time to time, but it will not convince you of my worth.

  Mr. Carter : Please forgive me for speaking so plainly, but you are a milliner.

  Miss Galindo : Do you think I long to stitch caps and sew feathers onto bonnets? I found myself obliged to earn my living, and society offered me no other opportunity. And since I find myself commissioned to make the coronets for May Day, I have more pressing things to do than stage this pantomime of assisting you!

  Mr. Carter : I did not ask for you to be installed here!
