- Hugh Bromilow: Bromilow. B-R-O-M-I-L-O-W.
- Constable: Mr Bromilow. One of the requirements of the Metropolitan Police is a knowledge of spelling.
- Mrs. Stella Armitage: It's as plain as the nose on your face. And that's plain enough I must say.
- Miss Snell: How dare you? I won't stay here to be insulted. I'll go to my room if I may.
- Mrs. Stella Armitage: Good riddance to bad rubbish.
- Miss Snell: There's other rubbish to be got rid of here. Don't forget the disgusting food you serve. And the lumpy beds. And other things I'm too much of a lady to mention.
