Padma Lakshmi: Madhuvanthi

Quotes 

• Madhuvanthi : You must take me with you!

  William Dodd : Why? You mean nothing to me!

• Madhuvanthi : You want someone younger to rule beside you? Lalima perhaps? I've seen how you watch after where she walks.

  William Dodd : [smiles]  I keep a close eye on her because I do not think she is entirely to be trusted.

  Madhuvanthi : She's of no consequence. She'll do as her brother orders and if she does not, she'll suffer for it. All I ask, my love, is that you do not make me wait too long for what is rightfully ours.

• Gudin : [about the British force besieging them]  The door of opportunity is closing, Madame. If the rains come, they will have to abandon the campaign until the autumn.

  Madhuvanthi : You sound almost eager to avoid the confrontation.

  Gudin : I have never walked away from a battle, Madame. Neither have I run toward one. Like any soldier, I wish for peace, and prepare for war.

• Madhuvanthi : [to Dodd]  And after you have made the plain run red with English blood, once you have ground them into the dirt, what then, my love?

• Madhuvanthi : [Lalima is bound and captured]  We shall see if a flogging cannot encourage that pretty tongue of yours to sing!

  Lalima : You would not dare not raise hand against a Princess of the blood!

• Madhuvanthi : India is not France. You would do well to remember it!
