• Mrs. Hubbard : For my daughter... and my granddaughter.

  Colonel Arbuthnott : In memory of Colonel Armstrong, a great soldier... and an even greater friend.

  Mary Debenham : And for Mrs. Armstrong - they took me into their home and their hearts.

  Greta Ohlsson : For their Daisy, and mine. God forgive me.

  Countess Andrenyi : For my... my sister and my niece.

  Countess Andrenyi : Cassetti... for the grief you brought to my beloved wife.

  Colonel Arbuthnott : Obviously a frog.
