- Georgie Pillson: [dressed as Beau Brummell] Do I look the thing?
- Major Benjamin 'Benjy' Flint: You look exactly the thing, old man. Whatever it is... Oscar Wilde... Marie Antoinette.
- 'Quaint' Irene Coles: The boys all know I'm a gal, and the girls know I look like a boy, so here goes! Qui-hi!
- Emmeline 'Lucia' Lucas: Mr Wyse certainly suspects something of the sort.
- Georgie Pillson: Yes, he said there'd been some hanky-panky, which is pretty strong language for him.
- Godiva 'Diva' Plaistow: She began by saying how anxious she was to learn. Now she lays down the law like anything. It's quite like playing with you.
- Mr. Algernon Wyse: [Referring to his sister, the Contessa di Faraglione] Would it be socially in order if I were to ask Mrs Lucas if my wife and I could bring her?
- Miss Elizabeth Mapp: Oh, how can you ask? Of course you must ask Lulu, and of course she'll say yes. What else could she say?
- Emmeline 'Lucia' Lucas: It is ridiculous that we have to break ourselves of the habit of doing something we can't do.
- Emmeline 'Lucia' Lucas: Folkstone or Littlestone, whichever you prefer.
- Georgie Pillson: Well, nobody could prefer Littlestone!
- Mrs. Brocklebank: My husband is English. As English as English! He is a diplomatist, and he's next posted to Roma. Like a letter, no?
- 'Quaint' Irene Coles: What have you got for sale in Tilling which would accommodate Mrs Lucas?
- Mr. Woolgar: In Tilling proper, very little.
- 'Quaint' Irene Coles: What about Tilling improper?
