with Rosemary Leach as Ada Molesbridge, Carole Boyd as Harriet Carmichael, and Katherine Hughes as Flora
ADA: When it comes to whose child, Flora might decide. Who she cleaves to. Whose bed she chooses in the middle of the night. Who she loves.
HARRIET: Don't be ludicrous. She's my daughter, my flesh and blood. She belongs to me.
ADA: Flesh and blood is one thing. But belongs. Slippers, candlesticks, necklaces, they belong. Ask her who she chooses. Go on, wake her, ask her. We're all people, aren't we. All human beings... Not mistress and servant, you said. Let her choose.
