- Major Sinclair Yeates: Don't tell me Slipper's in trouble again
- Flurry Knox: He isn't. You may be.

- Flurry Knox: My grandmother means to sit today
- Major Sinclair Yeates: Mrs Knox? I've never heard of a woman magistrate before.
- Flurry Knox: Nor has anyone else. She took over from me grandfather.
- [pause]
- Flurry Knox: No one liked to question it.
- Flurry Knox: There isn't a four year old in the county I'd been seen dead with at a pig fair.
- Major Sinclair Yeates: But it isn't six weeks that you said that you had the finist filly in your stables that was ever foaled in the county
- Flurry Knox: Oh is it that filly! I swapped her and six pounds for a three year old iron monger colt and after that I swapped the iron monger colt and nineteen pounds for the banded horse that i rode over at your place last week, and after that again I sold the banded horse for seventy five pounds to ol' McClaughry.
- Major Sinclair Yeates: Oh... I see
- Flurry Knox: So I did pretty well eh
