Ruth Gemmell: Octavia Putney

Quotes 

• [Oscar and Octavia Putney slide Mr. Clare some food into his cage] 

  Oscar Putney : Mrs. Putney has prepared you some food. Though she's a bit parsimonious when it comes to the victuals.

  Octavia Putney : Husband!

  Oscar Putney : You know it's true. Heavy on the spices, light on the joint, as they say.

• [Octavia Putney tells Mr. Clare that she's surprised he hasn't started screaming from in his cage] 

  Octavia Putney : You haven't tried screaming yet.

  John Clare : I was not made to scream.

  Oscar Putney : Some scream, some cause others to scream, eh?

• [Oscar Putney tells the caged Mr. Clare he'll pay him for helping his freak show] 

  Octavia Putney : That got his attention.

  Oscar Putney : Money has a way of doing that. Look here, I don't think Harry Public enjoys seeing miserable freaks. I think he likes to see jolly freaks, doing the odd trick.

  Octavia Putney : Odd trick, mmm.

  Oscar Putney : You play along, we'll give you a share of the take. Think how nice a few schillings will sound in your pocket.

• [Oscar and Octavia Putney tell Mr. Clare he can be the king of the freaks] 

  Oscar Putney : You do your job. You let the punters take a good gander and you give 'em a proper fright

  Octavia Putney : Trick or two.

  Oscar Putney : [Oscar smiles]  You welcome the new arrivals, tell 'em what's what. Ease their transition into servitude. A father to all of the other freaks, if you will.

  Octavia Putney : King of the Freaks.

  [as Mr. Clare rips off the cell door to his cage, breaking Octavia's throat and bashing Oscar's head into the brick wall repeatedly]
