Joanne Froggatt: Anna Bates

Quotes 

• Anna Bates : ...But I'm spoiled for you. And I can never be unspoiled.

  John Bates : You are not spoiled. You're made higher to me, and holier because of the suffering you've been put through. You are my wife, and I have never been prouder, nor loved you more than I love you now at this moment.

  Anna Bates : Truly?

  John Bates : Truly.

• Mrs. Hughes : [discussing keeping Anna's rape secret]  I don't know why you must be so hard on Mr. Bates. At least you know there'll be no baby.

  Anna Bates : No.

  Mrs. Hughes : Then can't you start to get past it and tell him something?

  Anna Bates : He'd know it if it wasn't the truth. He sees through me. He can read me like a book.
