  Gregory Anton : You're not angry with me?

  Paula Alquist Anton : Angry? If you hadn't come, I should have sent for you.

  [long kiss and embrace] 

  Miss Thwaites : Well!

• Miss Thwaites : Odd. Definitely odd. It's an odd household, too. That maidservant, most impertinent. I can't get a thing out of her. She won't talk to me; though, she would quick enough if I wore trousers. The way she carries on with that policeman on the beat. It's scandalous!

• Miss Thwaites : I'm afraid I enjoy a good murder now and then. My brother always calls me "Bloodthirsty Bessie."

• Miss Thwaites : I'm going to London. I must be in London for the spring. The crocuses, you know, and the daffodils and the tulips. The gardens are so beautiful in the spring. I go and say "Good morning" to my flowers in Thornton Square every day.

• Miss Thwaites : Have a biscuit, dear.

  Paula Alquist Anton : Thank you.

  Miss Thwaites : Digestive biscuits. Unpleasant name, isn't it? I always call them "diggy biscuits."

• Miss Thwaites : Good morning, daffodils. Good morning, tulips. Good morning.
