Louisa Stockbridge
- [Many years ago, Sylvia and Louisa cut cards to decide which of them would marry Sir William. Louisa lost]
- Constance: Anyone care for a game of bridge after dinner? Louisa, how about you?
- Louisa Stockbridge: Oh, I don't think so. I've rather gone off cards. I've never been very lucky with them.
- Sir William McCordle: Me too.
- Raymond Stockbridge: Well, I think it's ridiculous. I'm here to shoot.
- Louisa Stockbridge: Darling, it's a relief for me to sit next someone who isn't deaf in one ear.
- Raymond Stockbridge: I'm sorry?
- Lavinia Meredith: I don't care what's changed or not changed as long as our sons are spared what you all went through.
- Lady Sylvia McCordle: Not all. You never fought, did you, William?
- Sir William McCordle: I did my bit.
- Louisa Stockbridge: Of course you did.
- Lady Sylvia McCordle: Well, you made a lot of money but it's not quite the same as charging into the cannon's mouth, is it?
