Though he had been in the film industry as a scriptwriter for many years, this was William Nicholson's first directed film.
"Elisabeth: Do you know about Firelight? Louisa: What about it? Elisabeth: It's a kind of magic. Firelight makes time stand still. When you put out the lamps and sit in the firelight's glow there aren't any rules any more. [blows out lamp] Elisabeth: You can do what you want, say what you want, be what you want, and when the lamps are lit again, time starts again, and everything you said or did is forgotten. More than forgotten it never happened."
"Elisabeth: Shall we start our lessons? Louisa: I don't have to do what you say. You're just a servant. Elisabeth: That's enough! Be silent! You will obey me whether you want to or not! You will obey because poor as I am, I am placed in authority over you. You will not speak disrespectfully to me or raise your voice to me. Louisa: [Taunting] Servant! Servant! Servant! Servant! Servant! Servant! Servant! Servant! Servant! Servant! Servant! Servant! Servant! [Elisabeth throws a cup of blue paint onto Louisa. Then, true to her word, she throws a cup or red on herself] Elisabeth: I'm not a servant, I'm a *prisoner*! So will you be when you grow up. The day you come of age the gates will close around you because you are a *woman*! If you marry, everything you own will become the property of your husband. If you don't marry every profession will be closed to you but *one*, and that one is a life of loneliness and humiliation. They lock you up, Louisa! But there's one part they can lock up: They can't imprison your mind. And that's why I want you to learn to read. I want you to have your own life!"
