Woman: My dear, I have been selfish and petty and jealous in my treatment of you. I want you to know that hugh's love for you is also mine, and I will always regard you as my own daughter. Woman: And if you ever hurt him-even the veriest silken hair on his head- I shall hunt you down and make death seem preferable to the nameless evil I will inflict upon your writhing, helples body. capeesh? Man: What was mummy whispering to you? Woman: Just a traditional mother's blessing.
