Quotes 

• Julius Beaufort : After all your exquisite associations over there, how do you think you're going to like it here?

  Ellen : I think it quite like heaven.

  Julius Beaufort : Yes, I have that feeling too sometimes. You mean, just some place to go after you're dead?

• Granny Manson Mingott : I'm not prepared to die. I've been neglecting my bible lately.

• Mrs. Welland : Where is this place?

  Ellen : West 23rd Street.

  Mrs. Welland : West 23rd Street! Where all those dreadful people live.

  Ellen : You told me it was respectable?

  Julius Beaufort : Well, in my experience, I've always found it very respectable.

  Mrs. Welland : You know perfectly well, the sort of persons who live there. All kinds of odds and ends. Bird-stuffers. Dreadful people who write. Dressmakers. Musicians. Painters.

  Ellen : Musicians, painters. I've always liked Bohemians. My husband's house was always full of them.

  Mrs. Welland : In deed.

• Granny Manson Mingott : Hello, Beaufort. Where's Regina?

  Julius Beaufort : Oh, she's about. Of course, it's hard for a man to keep track of his wife these days.

  Granny Manson Mingott : Are you sure you try?
