Leanne Best: Jane Cobden

Quotes 

• Detective Inspector Edmund Reid : Miss Cobden. I hope you'll excuse the hour.

  Jane Cobden : It is excused, Inspector.

  Detective Inspector Edmund Reid : You see, I... I have of late had cause for reflection.

  Jane Cobden : Would you care to sit? Or would you prefer to share the results of your ruminations from the threshold?

  Detective Inspector Edmund Reid : It is a rare thing to find a friend in this world, a true friend. Rarer still one that might become more. There are some that do however and risk all for it. And even though the world in all its might might seek to snuff out their love, they burn with it, fierce and bright like the sun. The love that I have known, the strength needed of me was not there. I failed... I failed my wife, Miss Cobden. I would not have that pain visited upon you. You said the past was naught but black magnetism, if I allowed you would help me resist it. I have had enough of the darkness, if you would help me know the sun.

  Jane Cobden : Well, Edmund.

  [pauses] 

  Jane Cobden : I do hope you're not going to launch into sonnets every time you wish to take me for dinner and a dance? I would find all the swooning quite tiresome.
