Robert James-Collier: Thomas Barrow
Quotes
-
[Carson has questioned Thomas about his attempt to kiss James, which Thomas has not denied, and now he reaches his decision]
Charles Carson : It's time to draw a line under this whole unfortunate episode.
Thomas Barrow : So I go out of the window.
Charles Carson : I cannot hide that I find your situation revolting, but whether or not you believe me, I am not entirely unsympathetic. You have been twisted by nature into something foul. And even I can see that you did not ask for it. I think it better that you resign quietly, citing the excuse that Mr Bates returned. I will write a perfectly acceptable reference, and you'll find that there's nothing about it that's hard to explain.
Thomas Barrow : I see.
[Thomas turns as he is about to leave the room]
Thomas Barrow : I am not foul, Mr. Carson. I am not the same as you, but I am not foul.
Charles Carson : Yes, well... We've spoken enough on this subject.
