Josephine Pacefoot
- Josephine Pacefoot: The bruised flowers of men's lust. They don't go on the streets from choice. As long as the only industrial careers open to women are those that pay starvation wages, how else can they keep alive? Only by the farm of their bodies!
- Josephine Pacefoot: What for you, sir, was just an hour of pleasure, for them, means a lifetime of regret.
- Josephine Pacefoot: Oh, dear. Am I putting temptation your way? Must I now expect you to - lurch at me?
- Josephine Pacefoot: That's eight girls now. First, Molly. Then, Lilly, Anais, Prudence, Emily, Charlotte, Arabella, and dear Phoebe. They've just vanished.
- Benjamin Oakes: And you can't put them *all* down to Jack the Ripper.
- Benjamin Oakes: Miss Pacefoot, you can't have dealings with an opium plantation.
- Josephine Pacefoot: Why not?
- Benjamin Oakes: Because, it's - commerce. Trade.
- Chinese Trade Attache: Miss Pacefoot, I beseech you, in the name of 40 million suffering Chinese, do not set that vile plantation to work again.
- Josephine Pacefoot: Mr. Feng, if those properties Uncle left me are to be used to finance my industrial training home, what alternative have I? A Belgravia Hall, that is already doing noble work for deprived humanity. So, all I can use are the profits from the opium crop. I'm sorry, Mr. Feng, but England's social problems must come first.
- Josephine Pacefoot: Flora, dear, we are not what you feared us to be.
- Benjamin Oakes: We are going to take you to a place where you'll be taken care of and given work.
- Josephine Pacefoot: And chastity will be preserved.
- Flora: Bleedin' 'ell!
- Josephine Pacefoot: It's very confusing. I'm afraid I have this sudden desire to lie down and at the same time - I have an overwhelming urge to giggle.
