- Josephine Wentworth: She is the last one?
- Eleanor Winthorpe: Yes! But she has a reputation, she's a crack shot.
- Thomas Winthorpe: There's a ship leaving tomorrow, and I have assurances that both of you will be safe on this voyage.
- [...]
- Eleanor Winthorpe: What ship?
- Thomas Winthorpe: It parts to the West India. Josephine and Charlotte will take their father's partition.
- Charlotte Wentworth: Why are we discussing departure? We haven't finished our business here yet.
- Thomas Winthorpe: That is not my concern. Tomorrow, is when the ship leaves for your voyage, and I want both of you on it.
- Eleanor Winthorpe: [to Josephine, whispering] It will be settled before then.
