| "Babylon Revisited" as narrated by Marion: "Oh, lord. What's he doing back here? He's ruined so many lives, the bastard. Once a drunk always a drunk. It's not possible that he could be a decent father to Honoria. It would dangerous to turn her over to him. For my poor sister's sake, I won't allow it. |
