Lord William: I don’t know.

Molyneux: We should see more of Ann if we could appear to her as a duty. Unfortunately, we are undoubtedly a pleasure.

Selina: You might make a bid as sinners in need of reform.

Tim: But that is just what is so wonderful about Ann. She never wants anyone to be better—only happier.

Lord William: Ann is my niece. She is, of course, a saint, but she is not a fool. No Cathcart is a fool.

Selina: Amen.

Lord William: Don’t interrupt. I was about to say something very good.

Selina: Would you like to “think it out in silence?”

Lord William: What were we talking about?

Mrs. Martineau: There is only one subject in this house.
