Fay Bainter: Susan Throssel

Quotes 

• Susan Throssel : A misunderstanding.

  Phoebe Throssel : Just a mistake.

  Susan Throssel : We can let it down. Other gentlemen have been attracted by you, Phoebe.

  Phoebe Throssel : I didn't want them.

  Susan Throssel : They will come again. And others.

  Phoebe Throssel : No. Never speak of that to me anymore. I let him kiss me.

  Susan Throssel : You could not prevent him.

  Phoebe Throssel : Yes, I could. I know I could now. I wanted him to do it. Oh, never speak to me of others after that. Perhaps he saw I wanted him to do it and did it to please me. But I meant it. Indeed, I did. And I gave it to him with all my love. Sister, I could bear all the rest... But I've been unladylike.

• Dr. Valentine Brown : Miss Susan. I've brought you some firewood.

  Susan Throssel : Thank you, sir.
