Quote #2
These people were my relatives, my ancestors. And this place could be my refuge. (2.3.42)
Dana's first instinct after learning she's gone back in time is to find her ancestors and stay at their cabin. The instinct shows just how deeply she connects with the concept of family, even if it's family she's never encountered before.
Quote #3
Tom Weylin had probably marked his son more than he knew with that whip. (2.4.33)
