Quotes 

• Ken Beavers : It had to be a complete stranger. The Master himself was not pleased. I could tell.

  D.C.I. Barnaby : What do you mean? What stranger?

  Heather Beavers : Why, Mr. Gamelin, of course. The Master seemed to reach out to him as he fell, like this... Why you? Why you, he seemed to be asking. Such pain, such bewilderment on his face.

  Ken Beavers : I'm surprised Trixie didn't mention it to him.

  Heather Beavers : Then again, they are old friends, astral allies.

  D.C.I. Barnaby : Hold it right there. Why?

  Ken Beavers : Oh, don't think bad of Heather, Inspector. It's not nosiness. It's just her cosmic aerials are so finely tuned.

  D.C.I. Barnaby : Oh, all of this clap trap. I'm not interested in her cosmic aerials. So can we please have no more chat about astral powers? This man has been murdered and whoever killed him will pay for it. Now, can you please tell me in plain English why Guy Gamelin would want to kill Ian Cragie?

  Heather Beavers : Oh, because his daughter planned to give her inheritance to the lodge.

• D.C.I. Barnaby : Mr. Beavers.

  Ken Beavers : Yes?

  D.C.I. Barnaby : I'd like another word with you, please.

  Heather Beavers : What about?

  D.C.I. Barnaby : About brothels, Mrs. Beavers. Or rather the one you and your husband ran in Hull. The place where the trawlers used to come from.

  Ken Beavers : Oh dear. It was a very good brothel.

  D.C.I. Barnaby : Oh, I'm sure.

  Heather Beavers : It was a partnership like John Lewis's, in that the staff used to share the profits with us.

  Ken Beavers : No one was ever pressurized. No one got hurt.

  Heather Beavers : As two or three high ranking police officers could have testified to at our trial, but didn't.

  [pause] 

  Heather Beavers : Inspector? Does this have to become common knowledge?

  D.C.I. Barnaby : You mean will I tell anyone? I'm a policeman, Mrs. Beavers, not a gossip.

• Trixie Channing : Well, you're not here to see me. So, why are you here, Guy?

  Guy Gamelin : I've come to see my daughter. It's her birthday.

  Trixie Channing : You mean that sad little girl is yours? Yes, it figures. Is she expecting you?

  Guy Gamelin : The Craigies are.

  Trixie Channing : There's only one Cragie, and he's a man.

  Ken Beavers : Excuse us.

  Heather Beavers : Excuse us.

  Guy Gamelin : What sort of place is this?

  Trixie Channing : It's a refuge, Guy, for people who have been damaged by people like you.

  Guy Gamelin : [chuckles]  Oh, I see. A one night stand with me damaged you, did it?

  Trixie Channing : Four nights, actually. It's funny that I remember the quantity, not the quality.

• Ken Beavers : If we... if we can hurry, Master. You know how ratty Gaius Quintus gets when we're late.
