C: Would you allow me to help you to...?

E: Oh, a little caviar. A peach! I'm afraid I... I'm afraid I must... You see, my husband..

Mac: I beg you, dear lady, do not concern yourself.

Mrs Wannop: I think this party's very badly arranged. Very bad management.

E: Or perhaps not. Sometimes you'd never know he was...

Mac: One understands. Only to spend a fleeting¹ hour in these perfect surroundings.  You know the lines, "As when the swallow gliding² from lofty³ portal to lofty portal, out of the dark and into the light and out again into the dark"?

E: Oh, yes! Yes! It takes a poet!

C: I have a message for you, from Mr Waterhouse. I told him I did not know you and did not expect to see you. He didn't believe me.

V: If it's to invite me for a chat, I don't intend to place myself in the way of his condescension⁴.

C: No, not that. He wants you to know that there are no charges against you.
