Alexander: So... you have become a whore in my absence, Katherine... You think me to be stupid, perhaps... But perhaps you had no idea that your whoring had been noticed... You seem surprised... And surprised that the news of you opening your legs and your cunt for any worthless dog should have traveled across the county and reached my ears, but then you opened your legs so very wide, Katherine... And you've acted so very shamelessly and so very stupidly. And you've begun to smell, Katherine... You've gotten so fat - and foul-smelling, it was inevitable that the whole county would hear of your behaviour. My father bought you - along with a piece of land not fit enough for a cow to graze upon. I do not like being talked about, Madame. I do not like being laughed at. I do not like owning a whore!
