What other people say about me:

Scene 1:

  • It looks like the location a particularly mangy bird might choose to nest.
  • haven’t washed your face
  • You might as well be a wild animal.
  • You might as well live out on the moors with the tiny smudgy weasels.
  • You are used to having everything done for you. Father spoiled you, Branwell spoiled you, but I have no intention of spoiling you, sister

Scene 2:

  • he spoke very highly of his sisters.
