- DS Ben Jones: Ah, well, I'll keep a lookout.

- [Stella gets in]
- Gentleman in carriage: You do right to be cautious my child, but you can trust me. I am the Marquis of Graydon. Such a pretty young thing, and though your beauty may never fade...
- [bares his fangs]
- Young Stella: Open the door. I want to get out. Please.

- Emma Harris: And I don't?
