Quotes
-
Kate's Father : I'm sad because, my darling, our poverty has reached such extremes that I can no longer afford to keep us and must look to my own dear tiny darling to sustain me in my frail dotage.
Kate : But father surely...
Kate's Father : Yes, Kate. I want you to become a prostitute.
Kate : Never! Father.
Kate's Father : Do you defy me?
Kate : Indeed I do for tis better to die poor than to live in shame and ignominy.
Kate's Father : No it isn't.
Kate : I'm young and strong, clever, my nose is pretty. I shall find another way to earn a living.
Kate's Father : Oh please go on the game. It's a steady job and you'd be working from home.
