Ripper Street (TV Series)

What Use Our Work? (2013)

Gillian Saker: Bella

Quotes 

• Bella : Is it true, Sergeant, you were sweet on Rose, but that she let you down?

  [Drake is silent] 

  Bella : That makes her a fool, and more besides. There's not a girl here who doesn't think you are the finest of men.

  [Drake stops undressing, and she reaches for his bracers] 

  Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : Miss Bella?

  Bella : Sergeant?

  Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : Would you keep a secret for me?

  Bella : Til my death.

  Detective Sergeant Bennet Drake : If we just... sat here for a while, in this chair, you and I, and perhaps I might sleep for a moment or so... if we did that, would you tell no one what had passed? I, uh... I do not ask you to lie, simply to say nothing if questioned.

  [She puts a tender hand on his cheek, eases him into the chair, and curls into his shoulder]
