- Mister Harley: Truly! Your father a minister? What then, Presbyterian or Methodist?
- The Governess: God is a Presbyterian; and my father can prove it.
- Flora: [conducting a tour of the house] Behind there, the mice attend church every Sunday.
- The Governess: Do they now? I would like to see that.
- Flora: No! When people are near, they stay home from church and fall into sin.
- The Governess: Yes, of course. I see.
- Flora: O what a pretty locket, may I see?
- The Governess: Yes. It was my mother's. She left it for me when she died.
- Flora: Did she love you?
- The Governess: Why, yes... yes, of course she did!
- Flora: But how can you be sure?
