“It might’ve been my fichu."-Patricia to Lucy about her engagement to vicar Penweeble.”

“Patricia embraces me on the station platform. 'The past is what you leave behind in life, Ruby,' she says with the smile of a reincarnated lama. 'Nonsense, Patricia,' I tell her as I climb on board my train. 'The past's what you take with you.”

“It's hard to imagine talking to Lucy. But I can imagine sleeping with her. I have been imagining it quite regularly. I can't stop imagining it. Maybe it's time for my first Lucy Branch, my first truly physical relationship. And why do I assume it would be a bad thing? Maybe it's better with someone different from you. I could teach her how fluorocarbons affect the ozone. She could teach me about oral sex.We would both become better people.”

“Putain mais quelle fichue imagination je peux avoir ...”

“My name is Patricia Lauren Bordeaux, and I, like my creator before me, am a very lonely vampire.”

“What is the world coming to, when you can't even trust a rogue vicar and her demon lover?”
