Michael Gambon: Squire Hamley

Quotes 

• Squire Hamley : I understand a deal more than you think I understand.

• Squire Hamley : Here's the young master.

  Lady Cumnor : Quite a credit to his mother.

• Squire Hamley : Where's that little chap of mine?

• Squire Hamley : Ya know I think it was a strange thing how both you boys picked out girls below you in rank and family, yet neither of you set your fancies on little Molly Gibson. Now there's a lassie who's found her way into my heart.

  Roger Hamley : Molly's like a sister to me.

• Squire Hamley : I don't see why you don't put up for her still. Don't you think you could like her if you tried?

  Roger Hamley : No need for trying to love her, that's already done. But it's too late, it's too late, she's as good as told me so - it's my own fault!

• Squire Hamley : So you've come a-visiting though you've been up with the grand folks. We thought you were going to cut us Miss Molly.

  Molly Gibson : They asked me and I went, now you've asked me and I've come here.

  Squire Hamley : And which do you prefer.

  Molly Gibson : I don't think I should answer that.

• Squire Hamley : He's a proper hand, he is.
