"What did you want me to do, father?" Pratt asked. "I have sworn not to tell anyone about what we saw, and I will do exactly that. Do you think I would have lived this long if I tattle everything to him?"

The Duke is not someone that you can play games with, but me would not have agreed to you marrying my daughter without the principles that you stood by. Ah… little Alma is doing better because of her. The least that you could do is to shut your mouth and keep it closed until you die."
