Frances

— You promised the doctor not until after dark.
— Oh, it's pretty dark, Frances.

— Mr Shelby, you're meant to be resting.
— I have learnt something, Frances. There is no rest for me in this world. Perhaps in the next.

— Where is everyone?
— Your wife is upstairs with Rubi.
— You know, Frances, if there were to be a snap election in this house today... wouldn't win it... not even if I were running against the devil himself.
