Quotes 

• Cedric Grey : I bagged three pheasants in less than an hour. They were the largest, most succulent birds you've ever seen.

  Richard Grey : So?

  Cedric Grey : So what?

  Armus Grey : So, where are they?

  Cedric Grey : I gave them to a beautiful girl... The most beautiful girl you've ever seen.

  Eleanor Grey : Cedric, every girl you meet is the most beautiful girl you've ever met.

• Lady Elizabeth : He's only been gone for a few hours and already I miss him. You must miss him, too... You know, it's all right to say you miss him if you do.

  Richard Grey : The display of emotion is afforded only to women.

  Lady Elizabeth : Oh, I don't know. Men readily display anger and that's an emotion.

• Richard Grey : Don't tell me what to feel!

  Lady Elizabeth : I wouldn't presume to do that. All I'm saying is that it's all right to show what you do feel.

• [last lines] 

  Eleanor Grey : Today is your birthday.
