- Prudence: It's private, because it's the initiation room. We have certain ceremonies that the induction of full members from the general membership.
- Adam Adamant: I see, secret rites.
- Prudence: The members like it. The consider it a high honor to be chosen for full membership. You know how we women love secrets, Mr. Adamant... Or may I call you Adam?
- Adam Adamant: Wel,l I think that may be a little imprudent, Miss Prudence.
- Georgina Jones: [Adam hits the bell on the counter with his cane] I'm in charge of the cloak room.
- Adam Adamant: Miss Jones...
- Georgina Jones: And it's initiation night. It could be interesting.
- Adam Adamant: I expressly told you not to come here. You could be in severe danger.
- Georgina Jones: You'd say the park swings were dangerous for me, just to keep me out of the way. Well, I'm honorably employed. There's nothing you can do about it.
- William E. Simms: [holding the pin Georgie just tried to stab Adam with] That could give you a nasty jab.
- Adam Adamant: Worse than that, Simms, that is poison. The weapon of a woman.
- Randolph: Have we ever had any complaint, from anyone? Even a widow?
- Hope: No, but someone may suddenly be suspicious if there are suddenly too many widows in the province.
- Faith: Like Mr. Adamant.
- Randolph: Mr. Adamant is something of an exception. And if anyone else should become suspicious, well, then we could always invite their wives to become... full members, couldn't we?
