Queen Anne: [in a mud bath] It is so strange to be in this.
Abigail: It is good for you. The doctor says it will leach the toxins.
Queen Anne: What if I should fall asleep and slip under?

Harley: You are in favour. But favour is a breeze that shifts direction all the time. Then in an instant you're back sleeping with a bunch of scabrous whores wondering whose finger's in your arse.
