Well, I have watched you rise and I shall watch you fall, and I know your heart and its desires.

Money is what you lust for and must have, for otherwise how will you gain your end?
It was the jewels that you needed, not the Shefton lands, which are worth little now-a-days, and will soon be worth less.

Why, one of those pink pearls placed among the Jews would buy three parishes, with their halls thrown in.

For the sake of those jewels you have brought death on some and misery on some, and on your own soul damnation without end, though had you but been wise and consulted me--why, they, or some of them, might have been yours.

Sir John was no fool; he would have parted with a pearl or two, of which he did not know the value, to end a feud against the Church and safeguard his title and his daughter.
