Sparrow was getting her ass kicked. By her father, no less.
"Come, Sparrow, you're the one who wanted to hide the boy from me. Take your punishment. Your sixteen now, and definitely old enough for it." he got the whip out again and cracked it.

"Richard, Richard, Richard. That's all you ever think about. If you had tried with me, I could have turned out better than him. I am better than him." she pulled herself up and got her coat.

"Wait, Sparrow, wait." her father said "I need you, my little chickadee."
"You should have thought of that sooner, Slade."
