  • Elizabeth Barrett : Is that Mr. Browning over there?

    Wilson : I shouldn't be at ALL surprised, Miss.

  • Elizabeth Barrett : Oh, Wilson, I'm so tired. Tired! Tired. Will it never end?

    Wilson : End, Miss?

    Elizabeth Barrett : This long, long gray death of life.

    Wilson : Oh, Miss Ba, you shouldn't say such things.

  • Wilson : [after Miss Ba reads a poem aloud]  I call that just lovely, Miss Ba.

    Elizabeth Barrett : Yes, but do you know what it means?

    Wilson : Oh, no Miss.

    Elizabeth Barrett : Does it convey anything at all to your mind?

    Wilson : Oh, no Miss Ba.

    Elizabeth Barrett : Well, thank heaven for that.

    Wilson : But, then, read poetry never does, Miss. Least ways not read poetry like what you make.

    Elizabeth Barrett : Oh, but I didn't write that. It's by Mr. Browning.

    Wilson : Oh, he must be a tailored gentleman.

  • Wilson : Excuse me, Miss Elizabeth. Mr. Browning's downstairs.

    Elizabeth Barrett : Oh, well - ask him to wait, please.

    Bella Hedley : Oh, no dear, cousin. Ask him to come white up. We have to go downstairs and have tea with Uncle Edward. And besides, we wouldn't dweam of interrupting your tete-a-tete. Isn't it frilling, Harry. Mr. Browning's a poet and Miss Elizabeth's a poet. Isn't that a coincidence?

    Harry Bevan : Oh, quaint, my dear, quaint.
