Quotes 

• Detective John 'Jack' Robinson : Did Marigold mention anyone mistreating her, punishing her for anything?

  Herbert Brown : Not that I recall. Why?

  Detective John 'Jack' Robinson : There were welt marks on your daughter's body.

  Phryne Fisher : Perhaps you mistook her for a horse.

• Phryne Fisher : [to Jack]  I know you interviewed all the staff, but never underestimate the power of downstairs gossip.

• Phryne Fisher : Isabella, Phryne Fisher.

  Isabella : Oh, the cousin. We've met, haven't we? That dazzling party in Charing Cross.

  Phryne Fisher : And I ended up on the dining table reciting an indecent version of "The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck".

• Phryne Fisher : What about Herbert?

  Detective John 'Jack' Robinson : His alibi matched up with your cousin's story. He was saddling the horses for a bit of a gallop around the estate. Isn't that what the upper class do of a morning?

  Phryne Fisher : Possibly, but not Guy. He was kicked in the teeth by a foreshore pony at the age of eight, and he's refused to mount anything... equine ever since.

• Phryne Fisher : When you're ready, Insp Robinson's waiting for you in the front parlor.

  Isabella : Oh! Should I dress or not? How good-looking is he?

• Hugh Collins : [with Mrs Truebody in another room]  She says she has information but she says it's delicate, and she's demanding to speak to a lady police officer.

  Phryne Fisher : There are only four of them in the state!

  Hugh Collins : I tried to explain.

  Phryne Fisher : Perhaps a... lady investigator would do?

• [last lines] 

  Phryne Fisher : He'll be back.
