• Farmer Sweetland : Well you don't want to marry a boy, do you?

  Mary Hearn, Postmistress : Why not? 'Tis a way with girls to marry boys, isn't it?

  Farmer Sweetland : Have you got the face to call yourself a *girl*?

  Mary Hearn, Postmistress : What the mischief should I call myself, then?

  Farmer Sweetland : *Full blown and a a bit over*... that's what I call you! The trouble with you is, you are too fond of dressing your mutton lamb fashion.

  Mary Hearn, Postmistress : Is this a nightmare?

  Farmer Sweetland : Your hat is!

  Mary Hearn, Postmistress : You old sheep... to come to a woman in all her prime and beauty.

• Mary Hearn, Postmistress : No man would even trouble to get you into hysterics, you picnicking little grey rat!
