Quotes 

• Clarissa Marr : [Introducing herself to Hester]  I'm Clarissa.

  [Offering her Hesther piece of candy] 

  Clarissa Marr : would you have a sugar violet?

  Hesther Shaw : No, thank you. I don't care for sugary things.

• Clarissa Marr : [to Peter]  We've only had one month together. Not much in a lifetime.

• Clarissa Marr : [Referring to her unfinished portraiture]  You paint me as a happy mother. I'm not very happy. I'm scarcely a mother... and yet I smile because I'm supposed to be happy.

  Lawrence : No, Lady Rohan; you smile because you're fortunate.

  Clarissa Marr : Aren't they the same thing?

  Lawrence : A dairy maid can be happy; but she's not obliged to smile when she's wretched. The fortunate must pay their debt. A great lady must never been seen without a smile.

• Jane Seymour : [Following Hesther's cold declination of Clarissa's offer of a sugar violet, Clarissa shivers]  Are you cold, Clarissa?

  Clarissa Marr : No; somebody walked over my grave.
