• Mrs. Bouccicault : [Looking at a magazine article]  You see what they say about me? Am I eccentric, Whitman?

  Whitman : Well, I should think...

  Mrs. Bouccicault : Whitman, now am I eccentric?

  Whitman : No, madam.

  Mrs. Bouccicault : Perkins? Am I eccentric?

  Perkins - the Maid : Oh, no, madam.

  Mrs. Bouccicault : Nooo! Liars! Both of you. Why can't you learn to tell the truth? I am eccentric and you know it... Yes, well keep it to yourselves.

• Whitman : That suite hasn't been opened all this summer, madame. You gave orders to have it closed.

  Mrs. Bouccicault : Bosh! I did nothing of the sort. Well, open it.

• Whitman : I told her it would be cooler in here.

  Perkins - the Maid : It would be just as well if you minded your own business. It's bad enough trying to keep up with her motions, hopping around all over the place without you changing her mind for her.

  Whitman : I've been changing her mind for her for 20 years, and I expect to keep on doing so. Without any suggestions from you.

• Whitman : Telephone Hadley at the station and tell him to look for someone peculiar or... someone likely to be coming here.

  Mrs. Bouccicault : Whitman! Her name is Brown, Mrs. Cortland-Brown.

• Mrs. Bouccicault : Whitman!

  Whitman : Yes, madam.

  Mrs. Bouccicault : Did you tell Hadley to meet that 8:15 train from town?

  Whitman : Yes, but he telephoned from the station to say there was no train until 10:15.

  Mrs. Bouccicault : Well, let him wait. It'll do him good.

  Whitman : Very good, madam.

• Whitman : Oh, Perkins. Mrs. Brown is leaving on the 11 o'clock train. It might be as well for you to assist her.

  Perkins - the Maid : That's just where I'm going, and without any suggestions from you.
