Siobhan Finneran: Sarah O'Brien

Quotes 

• Sarah O'Brien : [about Mrs. Hughes meeting an old flame]  If she's got a boyfriend, I'm a giraffe.

• Mrs. Hughes : I've sent Anna to bed with a cold, so I need you to manage the young ladies.

  Sarah O'Brien : What, all three of them? I'm not an octopus. Why can't Gwen do it?

  Mrs. Hughes : Because she is not a lady's maid.

  Sarah O'Brien : *I* am not a slave!

• Mrs. Hughes : Anna's still not well. O'Brien, you'll need to dress the girls this morning.

  Sarah O'Brien : [Privately, only Thomas can hear]  All we know about Lady Mary, and here I am waiting on her, hand and foot.

  Thomas Barrow : Will we do anything with that?

  Sarah O'Brien : Maybe, but not yet.
