• John Halifax, Jane's Father : Jane, it wasn't about you.

  Dr Jane Halifax : But I was the one who was left.

• John Halifax, Jane's Father : Oh darling, not everything has a neat explanation. Not everything one person does makes sense to everyone else. Awful things happen, that's all you can say, then... you have to leave it alone. I can't change the way I am. I'm sorry princess.

• [first lines] 

  John Halifax, Jane's Father : Now, pull it in against you. Not too tight. Lower your cheek. Come on Jane, it won't bite you. Look along the sights. Breathe in. And... squeeze.

  [Jane's father is teaching her to shoot a rifle, she seems reluctant] 

  John Halifax, Jane's Father : Here, let me show you.

  [He encircles her hands and pulls the trigger, she grimaces]
