- Lady Marjorie Bellamy: Felicity landed a major.
- Elizabeth Kirbridge: Oh, good for Felicity. What did he weigh?
- [Mr. Bellamy laughs]
- Lady Marjorie Bellamy: Darling, you make him sound like a prize trout. What would James be?
- Elizabeth Kirbridge: A sort of eel perhaps.
- Richard Bellamy: [laughs] And Lawrence? What would he be?
- Lady Marjorie Bellamy: [Becoming concerned] I think this is a silly game.
- Elizabeth Kirbridge: [Assertively] No, it isn't. It's illuminating. Lawrence... I think I see Lawrence as... a place.
- Lady Marjorie Bellamy: A place?
- Elizabeth Kirbridge: A place!
- Lady Marjorie Bellamy: Why a place/
- Elizabeth Kirbridge: I don't know. I just see him as one.
- Lady Marjorie Bellamy: I don't think that's very illuminating.
- Elizabeth Kirbridge: It is to me.
- Richard Bellamy: [Referring to Elizabeth's moving back home] Darling, are you sure you haven't left in haste? Your mother feels, and i find it hard to disagree with her, that you haven't really given it much time.
- Elizabeth Kirbridge: How much time do you need to know you've made a mistaake?
- Mrs. Bridges: I don't tittle-tattle, Rose. You know me.
- Rose: [Sarcastically] Probably haven't gotten around to it yet.
