- Audrey: Yes, I know. Would you say the Brigadier is looking rather harassed?
- Marjory: Distinctly. He's waving his arms about. Ooh, it's a good job I can't lip-read.
- Audrey: Most satisfactory.
- Marjory: I believe you planned this whole thing.
- Audrey: What do you mean?
- Marjory: You're hoping Mr. DeVere will come to you and ask for help on bended knee.
- Audrey: Whatever for?
- Marjory: Because he won't be able to cope with the hunt ball, and you'll be able to show him the estate can't function without you.
- Audrey: Well, that's true enough, it can't.
- Marjory: The curtains can draw right across now.
- Audrey: Oh lovely, we don't want people peering in. I do believe privacy is very important.
- DeVere: If I had a magic wand, Cinders, I could still take you to the ball. It isn't midnight yet.
- Audrey: I never thought of myself as Cinders before. Might be rather fun. Wave your magic wand, fairy godmother.
- DeVere: Abracadabra. Oh, you look breathtaking.
- Audrey: Thank you.
- DeVere: Couldn't I turn into your Prince Charming?
- Audrey: Perhaps.
