Quotes 

• Mrs. Hughes : Did you manage to raise the subject?

  Mr. Carson : His Lordship brought it up.

  Mrs. Hughes : How did he take it when you refused?... You didn't refuse, did you?

  Mr. Carson : It was difficult. Lady Mary feels that it's only right that my marriage is celebrated in the house.

  Mrs. Hughes : And heaven forfend we lowly folk should do anything to contradict the blessed Lady Mary!

  Mr. Carson : That's not like you.

  Mrs. Hughes : It is very like me. I want my own wedding to be done in my own way. Is that so outlandish?

  Mr. Carson : It's my wedding too.

  Mrs. Hughes : But I am the bride. We'll be doing it your way for the next 30 years, I know that well enough. But the wedding day is mine.

• Mrs. Hughes : [to Carson]  I'm the bride - we'll be doing it your way for the next 30 years, but the wedding day is mine !
