Dorothy Green: Eleanor Bradley

Quotes 

• Gil Favor : Why should she be afraid of me? I'm her father.

  Eleanor Bradley : In name only. It's been more than two years. You're a stranger now.

  Gil Favor : I've kept in touch.

  Eleanor Bradley : All the letters and presents in the world won't make up for the one goodnight kiss.

  Gil Favor : What are you trying to say?

  Eleanor Bradley : You have to decide, Gil. To be a real father, or someone who just brings presents.

• Eleanor Bradley : Nothing's wrong? She might have been killed. Come on, darling, I'll take you back.

  Gil Favor : Not yet. The dog just frightened the horse and made him shy. She dropped the reins. The horse didn't know what to do, nobody was giving him any orders so he just went off on his own.

  Eleanor Bradley : Please Gil, this is no time for.

  Gil Favor : Please Eleanor. A horse needs a firm hand. There's nothing to be frightened of as long as you've got control of it. You understand that? Let's finish our ride then.

• Wishbone : Of course they miss you.

  Eleanor Bradley : They do?

  Wishbone : Well, being bossed by their Pa is one thing, but, well, girls need a woman's hand, don't you think?

• Eleanor Bradley : I have a feeling they'll grow up in spite of us.
