Maharani : What is Lady Esketh doing at the hospital?
Thomas 'Tom' Ransome : Every conceivable filthy and drudging task.

Maharani : [Major Safti has just been handed an important note] What is it, Major?
Major Rama Safti : It has come sooner than I expected: several cases of the plague in the Sweepers Quarters. On top of that, half the water in Ranchipur must be polluted.
Maharani : Do what you can to keep the plague from spreading. Burn down the whole Quarter if you must.

Maharani : [Regarding what to do about Lady Esketh] I want to do the right thing. I'd trample her without mercy. But then, of course, I was brought up in the hills, where charity is a sign of weakness.
