Quotes 

• Miriam Shepherd : We need to get it to the lab.

  Sarah Bishop : No need. I have a stillroom. And I know just a spell.

  [Sarah snatched the lost page of Ashmole 782 from Diana] 

• Sarah Bishop : [to Marcus and Miriam]  How on earth could anyone think that you're human?

  Miriam Shepherd : [in slight challenge]  You're hardly inconspicuous yourself. The smell of henbane is coming off you in waves.

  Sarah Bishop : [directly at Marcus because he's watching her]  You got a problem, junior?

  Marcus Whitmore : Oh, no. No, no. It's just, erm... You look so much like your namesake. Sarah Bishop, your ancestor. She taught me how to set a broken leg at the Battle of Bunker Hill.

• Emily Mather : [greeting Diana and Matthew]  Diana! Honey! Oh, my God! Did the house lock you out?

  Sarah Bishop : [a bit smug]  What did I say? I said the house wouldn't like him.

  Diana Bishop : [slightly irate]  The house likes him fine. Tell me the truth. All this time, did you know what was wrong with me?

• Sarah Bishop : [to Matthew about Diana's training]  I know you're worried about Knox finding you. I'm worried about Diana's power. She needs to learn control. Now you may think these spells are quaint, but that's what they teach.

• Emily Mather : The thought of saying those words out loud, to you, telling you that I thought Rebecca spellbound her daughter. I just didn't want to break your heart again.

  Sarah Bishop : She didn't trust me, Em.

  Emily Mather : Oh. Darling, it wasn't like that.

  Sarah Bishop : It was. It was and it's okay. She knew too well... She knew you'd be careful and patient. And I'd just rant and rage and... Go after Knox with a carving knife.

  Emily Mather : Well, maybe you should have.

  Sarah Bishop : Well, there's still time.
