Jacqueline
- King Francis: Baroness. Did you or did you not lie to Her Majesty, the Queen of France?
- [Rodmila is confused when asked about her lie about Danielle.]
- Queen Marie: Choose your words wisely, madame, for they may be your last.
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: [nervously] A woman would do practically anything for the love of a daughter, Your Majesties.
- [Francis refuses to believe her.]
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Perhaps I did get a little carried away.
- Marguerite: Mother, what have you done? Your Majesty, like you, I am just a victim here. She has lied to us both, and I am ashamed to call her family!
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: [pushes Marguerite] How dare you turn on me, you little ingrate?
- Marguerite: You see? You see what I have to put up with?
- King Francis: [bangs his staff] Silence, both of you! Good Lord! Are they always like this?
- Jacqueline: Worse, Your Majesty.
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Jacqueline, *darling*, I'd hate to think you had anything to do with this.
- Jacqueline: [pointedly] 'Course not, Mother. I'm only here for the food.
- Jacqueline: [treating Danielle's wounded back] Oh! Now, you really brought this upon yourself, you know. Hmm? First with breakfast, and then that horrid display downstairs.
- Danielle: I don't know what's come over me.
- Jacqueline: Of course, I shall never forget the way Marguerite's feet went up over her head like that!
- [Danielle and Jacqueline giggle.]
- Jacqueline: She should not have said that about your mother.
- Danielle: Thank you.
- Jacqueline: I wanted to be the peacock!
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Honestly, Jacqueline, the horse is one of God's noblest creatures.
- Jacqueline: [sarcastically] Oh, well why don't I just pull the carriage while I'm at it?
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: If you think it will get us there any faster...
- Marguerite: I said I wanted four-minute eggs. Not four one-minute eggs, and where in GOD'S NAME is our bread?
- Louise: [takes Marguerite's eggs] It's just coming out of the oven, my lady.
- Rodmilla: Marguerite, precious. What do I always say about the tone?
- Jacqueline: A lady of breeding ought never to raise her voice any louder than the gentle hum of a whisper in the wind.
- Rodmilla: Jacqueline, dear, do not speak unless you can improve the silence.
- Marguerite: I was not shrill, I was resonant. A courtier knows the difference.
- Rodmilla: I very much doubt your style of resonance would be permitted in the royal court.
- Marguerite: I'm not going to the Royal Court, am I, mother? No one is, except some Spanish pig they have the nerve to call a princess.
- Rodmilla: Darling, nothing is final until you're dead. Even then, I'm sure God negotiates.
- [Rodmilla and Jacqueline continue eating their eggs]
- Rodmilla: Why is there no salt on this table? Danielle?
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: [shoves Danielle into the pantry] Get in there.
- [Rodmilla locks the door.]
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: [to Paulette, Maurice and Louise] Open this door, and you'll wish you never set foot in this house. Marguerite, Jacqueline, gather everything that will fetch a price. We're going to town first thing in the morning.
- Jacqueline: Mother, it's only a ball.
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Yes, and you're only going for the food.
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Jacqueline, go and boil some water.
- Jacqueline: Me? Boil water?... Oh I knew it! I just knew it!
- Jacqueline: Marguerite gets to do everything.
- Marguerite: Oh, don't be daft, Jacqueline, the Queen doesn't even know you exist.
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: What Marguerite does is for all of us, my dear. We are counting on you to help her get ready.
- Jacqueline: Lovely. Next thing you know I shall be cleaning the fireplace with Danielle.
- Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Where is that girl?
- Marguerite: Probably off catching rabbits with her teeth.
- Henry: Where is she?
- Maurice: The Baroness?
- Henry: Ni... Danielle.
- Maurice: But she has been sold, sire.
- Henry: Sold? To whom?
- Jacqueline: Pierre Le Pieu, Your Highness. Just after the masque.
- Henry: Tell no-one we have spoken. For all shall reveal itself in due course. Come, Laurent. There is much to be done.
- Jacqueline: How was I to nearly come flying out the side door? He was suppose to be getting married.
- Marguerite: I heard the prince talked to you. What did he say?
- Jacqueline: Well, I can't be sure. It all happened so quickly. But I think what he said was, "Serves me right for choosing a foreigner over your... sister."
- [Rodmilla and Marguerite giggle.]
- Rodmilla: Well, very good. Perhaps we should just let him fret about it for a few days.
- Jacqueline: This one is too small
- Rodmilla: Well, we shall just have to get you a tighter cinch.
- Jacqueline: I cannot breathe as it is.
- Rodmilla: If one cannot breathe, one cannot eat.
