Quotes
-
Margaret Schlegel : Will you forgive her as you yourself have been forgiven... you have had a mistress; I forgave you. My sister has a lover, you drive her from the house. Why can you not be honest for once in your life? Why can't you say what Helen has done, I have done!
-
Margaret Schlegel : Unlike the Greek, England has no true mythology. All we have are witches and fairies.

Margaret Schlegel : I deny it's madness.
Henry Wilcox : But you said yourself...

[first lines]
Margaret Schlegel : [reading letter] Dearest Meg, I'm having a glorious time. I like them all. They are the very happiest, jolliest family that you can imagine. The fun of it is that they think me a noodle, and say so - at least, Mr. Wilcox does. Oh Meg, should we ever learn to talk less.
