Selina: It wouldn’t matter. Any town would do. Papa, wouldn’t Ninian make an excellent Mayor?
Lord William: I really can’t say, my dear. I’ve never seen one.

Molyneux: In that case it would be quite proper that her husband should join the company.

Ninian: Uncle William, I am very glad you should be here, as I am thinking of starting a league for combating budding Bolshevism in this country. Your active help would be invaluable to me.
Lord William: Molly and I are too old to see red.

Lord William: I suppose you feel bound to fight the only people who hate liberty more than you do.
