Quotes 

• Mr. Gibson : Is this true Cynthia?

  Cynthia Kirkpatrick : Molly knows it all.

  Mr. Gibson : Yes, I know that and that she has had to endure gossip and slander for your sake. But more she refused to tell me.

  Cynthia Kirkpatrick : Oh, she told you that much did she?

  Molly Gibson : I couldn't help it.

  Cynthia Kirkpatrick : Why did you have to say anything at all?

  Mr. Gibson : Because her reputation was attacked for your misconduct and I demanded an explanation.

• Molly Gibson : I do so hate having these underhand dealings with him.

• Cynthia Kirkpatrick : And would you reply to him for I shant have time?

  Molly Gibson : And shall I say you'll write as soon as you get to London?

  Cynthia Kirkpatrick : Of course. Well, once I've settled in. Anyway Molly, you'd write him a much better letter than I would.

  Molly Gibson : Cynthia, he wants to hear from you.

  Cynthia Kirkpatrick : Does he? Oh, I suppose he does.

• Claire Gibson : Molly, did you know you were just dancing with the man who keeps Grinstead's bookshop?

  Molly Gibson : Oh, that accounts for him knowing all about the latest books.

• Claire Gibson : Molly, I cannot have you speaking so to Lady Harriet and do stop putting yourself into her conversations.

  Molly Gibson : I can't help it if she asks me questions.

• Molly Gibson : Papa, how can you waste one of our precious evenings? We have only six evenings and I reckoned on us doing all sorts of things.

  Mr. Gibson : What sorts of things?

  Molly Gibson : Oh I don't know, everything that's ungenteel and unrefined.

  Mr. Gibson : By toil and labour I've reached the fair height of refinement and I won't be pulled down again.

  Molly Gibson : Oh yes you will for a week.

• Molly Gibson : I don't think you should mention it to Lady Cumnor, Mama.

  Claire Gibson : Molly dear, I know you mean well but don't let one walk into town with Lady Harriet go to your head. I think I'm well capable to decide what I should or shouldn't say to Lady Cumnor.
