Quote #4
"Will you lock the door after you leave?" entreated Lizzie Rose. "In case he wakes up—and is angry—?"
"I'll lock you in," promised Mrs. Pinchbeck. "No matter what 'appens, you'll be safe from him tonight." (15.79-80)
Mrs. Pinchbeck might be dramatic (and often drunk), but she's really good-hearted when it comes down to it. She decides to protect the children instead of Grisini, even though he's the one who pays the rent.
Quote #5
He made a small, impatient gesture. "I told you: I was experimenting. There was an accident. A child died." He saw her features contort in a grimace of disgust. "What, are you shocked? Have you grown sentimental? Magic power cannot be had for nothing. There must always be some sacrifice. You of all people should know that." (19.22)
Cassandra is a pretty mean old woman, but even she is disgusted by Grisini and his "experiments." He's truly evil and doesn't even seem to care that he's hurt and killed so many children.
Quote #6
He gobbled every crumb, sucked the sugar from his fingers, and despised himself for his greed. Lizzie Rose would scarcely have believed that her adopted brother possessed so tender a conscience: Clara knew better. She recognized guilt, even when it was only a shadow in someone else's mind. (25.4)
Lizzie Rose thinks that Parsefall doesn't care when he's being bad, but Clara knows the truth: Parsefall does have his own moral compass. He wants to do the right thing, but it's hard to share when there's so much scarcity in his life.
