M: The whole world would understand exactly what we have managed to keep from it.

C: You would not be the first landowner to give up a house in town in protest against the new tax. The Duke would applaud you. I shouldn't wonder if he lends you the Westershire box at the opera.

S: I never heard such bosh! I will be in my room praying for death, or at least packing for it. Would you send me your maid?

M: I'd better go myself. Sylvia hit my maid with her hairbrush and I only borrowed her, I don't want to return her damaged.

F: Now then, Christopher. Your son is Roman Catholic born, and that's the fact of the matter.

C: But Michael will grow up with my sister's children in an Anglican parsonage, and the facts must jostle as they may. Slainte. By the way, father, your Republican friends should know that Germany is looking for a European war and will find a reason for one, probably in the next two years. So don't fill your dance card in Berlin.
