Legend of the Seeker Season 2 Episode 13

Countess: Servants these days are hopeless, my liege. One feels in ones house as if under siege.
Margrave: True , true, countess. In my fathers day people knew their place. There was such a thing as discipline.
Cara: When my servants drop things or crumble or whine it's never too long before they're back in line.
Margrave: Tell me how you manage, princess?
Cara: Once, long ago I was training a slave who endeavoured most stubbornly not to behave. So I cut off a finger or two with a knife and threaten to slaughter his child and his wife. Then I stripped him down naked and strapped to a horse. I dragged him though miles of bramble and gorse. Poured salt in his wounds and rolled him in rubble. That was the last time he gave any trouble.
Margrave: Impressive. I'll have to give it a try.
