Reverend Buckley:
She is a bright and gifted child Kathleen and part your creation. Imagine if she became Barrington's heir, imagine how she can lead and elevate her people. All of our hopes and dreams for her, her potential is unlimited. But if you let them take her now the fruits of your work will wither and die. She will become a savage once more.
