Rose Trelawney (1980)
“Morley to shame. I was a wretch. Here was I, foisting myself onto poor unwitting Sir Ludwig when I knew perfectly well I was Mrs. Knightsbridge. Letting him fall in love with me and worry over me and believe me a poor put-upon companion, when I was a wealthy woman who was involved in this messy business for more gain.
I didn’t think it was money I was after. I wanted Miss Grafton’s share of the Medici triptych, and my ultimate goal was to get my hands on it. Why I had asked for money in lieu of... it I had no idea (or had Miss Empey do so, surely on my behalf), but I knew that my real motive in this business was to get the painting. Since seeing Gwynne’s madonna, I had coveted it. I had dreamed of my portion of it one night—all in good clear detail, as it was well known to me, Mrs. Knightsbridge, who owned the main panel. Whatever I had been doing roaming the roads late at night, it had to do with getting Gwynne’s piece of the thing. I was the brains behind it; I felt it in my bones.MoreLess
