Lady Karissa told Lord Andrew Charles " No damn son of yours is going to replace my Elizabeth from inheriting the Dukedom of Norfolk Territory and I will kill you both if you try."
"I didn't give birth to Lady Elizabeth just so she be replaced by a younger brother later on." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles "Every time we had to sleep together . It made my skin crawl."

"I would have loved to been a fly on the wall to see it." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.
"I know what my father told me about my great-grandfather." Lord Andrew Charles tells Lady Karissa.
"I will make the same bet with you, that my daughters will be better rulers than your sons." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.
"You know that my father would stand with you, so I will pass." Lord Andrew Charles tells Lady Karissa.
