From "The Book of Dust: La Belle Sauvage (Book of Dust, Volume 1)" by Philip Pullman -
"Then Sister Benedicta picked up Lyra with the utmost care and held her tight.
'Did you seriously think for one moment,' she said, sounding fierce now, 'that I would let this little baby, who has been given into our care, be taken away by three strangers on the strength of a single piece of paper? Three men who practically forced their way into this holy building without any invitation? Who frightened the oldest and the least well of us with threats and weapons—yes, weapons—waving your guns in her face? Who do you think you are? What do you think this place is? The sisters have been giving care and hospitality here for eight hundred years. Think what that means. Am I going to abandon all our holy obligations because three bullies in uniform come shouldering their way in and try to frighten us? And for a helpless baby not six months old? Now go. Get out and don’t come back.'"
