Sarah Gadon: Grace Marks

Quotes 

• Thomas Kinnear : Well, you've not been in town five minutes and you have managed to attract gentleman admirers.

  Grace Marks : They are not.

  Thomas Kinnear : Not gentlemen, or not admirers?

• Grace Marks : You should never let your picture be in a magazine or newspaper if you can help it, as you never know what ends your face may be made to serve by others once it has got out of your control. But I did not *say* any of this to you, Dr. Jordan.

  Grace Marks : [then out loud]  And so forth.

  Grace Marks : [and again thinking to herself]  And so forth is all you are entitled to, I thought.

• Thomas Kinnear : The Apocrypha is a book where they put all the stories from Biblical times they decided should not go in the Bible.

  Grace Marks : Who decided? I thought the Bible was written by God. It is called the Word of God and everyone terms it so.

  Thomas Kinnear : Perhaps God wrote it, but it was men who wrote it down, which is a little different. But those men were said to have been inspired by God, which means he spoke to them, told them what to do.

  Grace Marks : Did they hear voices?

  Thomas Kinnear : Aye.

  Grace Marks : [recounting to Simon]  I was glad to hear that someone else had heard voices too, though I didn't say that. In any case, the voice I had heard, that one time, had not been God's but Mary Whitney's.

• Grace Marks : [eyes close remembering the Kinnear household]  When I close my eyes I can remember every detail of that house as clear as a picture. I could walk through every room of it blindfolded. It's strange to reflect that of all the people living in that house, I was the only one of them left alive in six months' time. Though at that moment I had no particular feeling about it and only wanted a drink of water.

• Grace Marks : With a pump, you have to pour some in before you can get any out. Mary Whitney used to say that was exactly how men viewed the flattering of a woman, when they had low ends in view.

  [realizing how she sounded] 

  Grace Marks : Mary Whitney was not proper but she was honest.
