  • Superior: "If you don't come down sharply on some of these people, they'll ask for the world"

Eric Birling

  • Insightful: "He was our police inspector, all right."
  • Ashamed: "Don't forget, I'm ashamed of you as well."
  • Secret Drinker: "His whole manner of handling the drink shows his familiarity with heavy drinking."

Shelia Birling
