Flowers in the Attic Quote

Grandmother: No child in this house will shout or scream or show defiance! Do you hear me? Do you? Now, remove your blouse, daughter. And show them how punishment is given in this house.
Mother: If you're cruel to my children, I'll take them away tonight.
Grandmother: Take them, Corrine! Take them now. Do you think I care? [laughs as Corrine cries]
Grandmother: Take off the blouse, Corrine. Take it off! [Corrine takes off her blouse]
Grandmother: Look closely, children. 17 lashes. One for each year she lived in sin with your father. So that you understand me now, I will give you food and shelter, but never kindness or love. For it is impossible to feel anything but disgust for what is not wholesome.
