Nigel Whitmey: Peter Glahn

Quotes 

• Peter Glahn : Who's that?

  Amelia Glahn : That's Zephyr. She's fond of wandering about late, collecting little things. She's a brooder.

  Peter Glahn : Mandragora's a country made for brooders. What's she doing?

  Amelia Glahn : Dr. Solti says it's out of respect for the forest. She binds her hands to let the forest know she'll take nothing from it but what it gives her.

• Dr. Issac Solti : No blood pudding today, Amelia? I must admit, I was a bit startled at your choice of meals for an amputee. It was Juliana who made me see the wit of your concoction. Why not breaded ram testicles in parsley on the side?

  Amelia Glahn : I've done something terrible. I had no intention of... I'm sorry!

  Dr. Issac Solti : Please, please. I'm teasing you.

  Peter Glahn : With a tongue that cuts like yours, Doctor, you hardly need a scalpel to operate.

• Zephyr Eccles : I control my own fate.

  Peter Glahn : That belly of yours says something else.

  Zephyr Eccles : What do you know about it? You can wear my clothes till doomsday, but it won't make you any more of a woman. Just less of a man.

• Peter Glahn : Has she told you everything then? Make sure that she does not omit any details in her report. Got to be as accurate and unforgetful as the sun itself, who brutally sees all without it flinching - that sun in the sky, that dripping red cyclops!

• [first lines] 

  Juliana Kossel : Mandragora. There is no night there now. Daylight shouts in your ear. Did night-time hold you down by the wrists? Where did you get those bracelets, bracelet-scars?

  Peter Glahn : Prison. Prison. Prison...

  Juliana Kossel : You have the look of a cornered animal, very menacing. Did you go mad?

  Juliana Kossel : And what now? Now that you're free.

  Peter Glahn : Home. To Mandragora.

• Peter Glahn : Well Aesop, it seems I've been sleep-hunting again.
