Quotes 

• [the Women's Auxiliary are planning an upcoming charity dance] 

  Nancy : I think it would add considerably to the gaiety of the occasion if, along about midnight, we had a great fanfare of trumpets and released hundreds of balloons... . During my undergraduate days at Vassar, we had some really gay parties, and they always featured balloons at midnight. Of course, that was a few years ago.

  [Nancy's husband, Clifford, is sitting at the side of the room, one of only three husbands who showed up for the meeting] 

  Clifford : You can say that again!

  Nancy : Did you say something Clifford?

  Clifford : [sheepishly]  I think it's a splendid idea.

  Nancy : Thank you.

  Clara : Well, there's just one thing: can we get enough balloons on such short notice?

  Nancy : Oh, yes, I'm quite sure we can. You see, my sister's husband happens to be in that business. As a matter of fact, I have a few samples right here, if you'd care to see one. I'm not sure I have sufficient wind to blow them up.

  Clifford : Is she kidding?
