Ione Skye: Eleanor Grey

Quotes 

• Sir Thomas Grey : Eleanor! Eleanor, are you ready yet? Eleanor, the Duke was sighted 15 minutes ago. He'll be here any second.

  [Eleanor gestures to her silk dress] 

  Eleanor Grey : I would have been ready an hour ago if I didn't have to wear this.

  Sir Thomas Grey : You look wonderful in it.

  Eleanor Grey : Oh, Father, if you're going to lie to me, at least do it convincingly.

  Sir Thomas Grey : I'll try to remember that.

• Sir Thomas Grey : You remember Eleanor, my lord.

  Duke of Worringer : How much better you look in silk, my dear, then leather. And this skinny lump of dough is my son, Lord Uther.

  Eleanor Grey : A pleasure, my lord.

  Sir Thomas Grey : Well, answer her, boy. She's a beautiful young lady.

  Lord Uther : I hope the pleasure will be all mine after dinner, Lady Eleanor.

  Duke of Worringer : [sighs]  I think perhaps I ought to throw this one back and catch something better. What do you say, Thomas?
