Quote:[spoiler]Ep #1 (Extended)- Roger: 'I think you'll find my son as much a challenge as you can handle.'[/spoiler]
Context:[spoiler]Victoria, Elizabeth and Carolyn are having tea in the drawing room when Victoria asks about David. Elizabeth explains that she brought him back from England when his mother took ill and it's been hard on him. She calls David a bright boy with an amazing imagination, to which Carolyn remarks only if putting garter snakes in her dresser is imaginative. Roger enters and he and Victoria are introduced. Her compliment of Collinwood prompts Roger to explain that Elizabeth always had a gift for maintaining the house in the grand manner. Elizabeth feels that style should be the dress of thought and that it tempers life with grace. Roger and Carolyn exchange knowing glances and Victoria agrees with a polite smile. She then changes the subject by asking if a painting on an easel is a Seurat. Elizabeth says it's a copy and is about to say who painted it when Roger interrupts. Victoria inspects the painting more closely and declares that it's very good. Roger asks if she enjoys art, and she answers that it's one of her favorite subjects to teach and that she believes children express themselves very well through drawing and painting. Roger practically rolls his eyes at that response and says he supposes she gets to know them better. But when Victoria says the challenge of it is to have the children get to know themselves, that seems to impress him. Roger then delivers the quoted line and follows it by remarking that he's certain David is different from any boy she has taught. He then excuses himself for the night. Elizabeth is somewhat embarrassed, but Carolyn smirks.[/spoiler]
