Captive Heart: The James Mink Story1996
James Mink:
We have been to the Queen's militia, Lord Elgin, and to the American embassy and no one's been able to do a thing about it. Now then, I'm desperate. We need your help.
Lord Elgin:
Well of course. I'll file letters of protest with President Fillmore and the Governor of Virginia. [sighs] But apart from that, there's little I can do.
James Mink:
Are you saying that there's nothing you can do to get the Americans to co-operate?
Lord Elgin:
Mr. Mink, please try to understand. Our relations with the States is - strained at best. Now, giving refuge to their fugitive slaves hasn't helped matters. We're in no position to make strong demands against Washington. I'm sorry.
James Mink:
Lord Elgin, my daughter is being held against her will in a foreign country. Are you saying that the Governor General of Upper Canada is just going to *abandon* her!?
Elizabeth Mink:
James, we've taken enough of Lord Elgin's time.
