Julian Fleury
- Maxwell Fleury: [reading from a newspaper] "Presumably they did not know that Julian Fleury's mother, who died in childbirth, was a Jamaican with native ancestry" Is it true?
- Julian Fleury: It's true.
- Maxwell Fleury: What were you lashing out when you tried to slap me? Your own guilt, your betrayal of us?
- Julian Fleury: Betrayal? Your mother never knew?
- Maxwell Fleury: She knew. Didn't you mother?
- Mrs. Fleury: I knew.
- Julian Fleury: But how?
- Mrs. Fleury: An anonymous letter. Came ten years ago.
- Julian Fleury: And you never mentioned it?
- Julian Fleury: I saw no reason to. I wanted to keep things as they were.
- Maxwell Fleury: Faithful wife. Noble mother.
- Julian Fleury: Maxwell, stop it.
- Jocelyn Fleury: How do you expect him to feel? How do you think I feel? To believe that you belong to one kind of a world and then suddenly... when I asked you if there was any reason that I shouldn't marry Euan, you said no.
- Julian Fleury: I said that was no *good* reason.
- Jocelyn Fleury: How can you say that? Euan's heir to a title. Can you picture a black man sitting in the House of Lords if we had a son?
- Julian Fleury: There's no need to exaggerate. My mother was three-quarters white, I've only one-sixteenth colored blood. The chances are your children will be *completely* white.
