Quotes 

• Sir James : I don't like your manners. Change them. Nor your truculence. Drop it. Nor your impudence. Mask it. As for your temper, curb it. If I learn of your brawling just once more, I'll fling you from the walls of Mackworth Castle myself.

• Myles Falworth : [Sir James instructs Myles to ride a horse between a series of pells - upright supports - with his hands over his head. When he fails, he complains to Sir James that he cannot control the horse]  ... then how will my horse know where to go, unless of course he has more brains than I?

  Sir James : A possibility not so remote as you may imagine.

• Sir James : [Lady Anne and Meg have ridden to the training grounds of the squires, and Sir James greets them]  Good morning, my lady.

  Sir James : And to you, Sir James. We were just coming to you for permission to watch.

  Sir James : You may indeed, then, but they may not watch you. The first man who casts his eye in this direction, I'll have it plucked out and fed to the buzzards.
