Agatha Andrews
- Agatha Andrews - Head of Mission: You smoke too much.
- Dr. D.R. Cartwright: Yes, everything I do, I do too much
- Agatha Andrews - Head of Mission: Is Emma going to die?
- Dr. D.R. Cartwright: No she's young she's healthy. But a lot of others will die before this is over - the old, the weak.
- Agatha Andrews - Head of Mission: Oh, I can't stand all this unnecessary death.
- Agatha Andrews - Head of Mission: I want you to listen carefully, Emma. I'm only trying to protect you. You understand that, don't you?
- Emma Clark - Mission Staff: No.
- Agatha Andrews - Head of Mission: You've lived a very sheltered life. Your father, both your brothers, ministers of the gospel. Dr. Cartwright comes from quite a different world. She'll never fit into a Christian community. I'm writing to... to headquarters to ask them to replace her as soon as possible.
- Emma Clark - Mission Staff: But I find her so interesting.
- Agatha Andrews - Head of Mission: Smoking? Sitting before grace? Using profane words? You call that interesting? I can see you're a young, inexperienced girl. There's something exciting about her. But morally, spiritually, she's dead.
- Emma Clark - Mission Staff: No. Dr. Cartwright has come here to look after the sick... to take care of Mrs. Pether. She... she can't be a bad woman. She's different.
- Agatha Andrews - Head of Mission: The difference is the evil in her.
- Agatha Andrews - Head of Mission: [muttering about Dr Cartwright] The Scarlet Woman... . mother of hogs... .
- Jane Argent: Oh be quiet! I never want to hear your voice again as long as I live.
