Quotes 

• Miss Ettie Coombes : My wicked worldliness has caught up with me at last! The Babu of Garoka always said it would.

• Dr. Wilfred Glendon : Are you planning on staying in England... long?

  Paul Ames : No. I return to California on the fourth. I've made my home there.

  Lisa Glendon : How does it feel to have a flying school of one's own? To be able to hop across from San Francisco to Tokyo in the twinkling of an eye?

  Paul Ames : [chuckles]  At this moment, I ask nothing more of life.

  Dr. Wilfred Glendon : Really? A very enchanting mood to be in... to ask nothing more of life. Are you in that mood, Lisa?

  [she looks uncomfortable, does not reply] 

  Miss Ettie Coombes : Well, anyway, I'm in that mood. All these lovely flowers about. Oh, how true: only God can make a daffodil.

  Dr. Wilfred Glendon : The poet said, "Only God can make a tree," Aunt Ettie.

  Miss Ettie Coombes : Well, isn't it just as difficult to make a daffodil, Wilfred?

  Dr. Wilfred Glendon : Much more so.

• Dr. Wilfred Glendon : My dear wife has just been scolding me.

  Miss Ettie Coombes : Yes, how you manage to keep your dear wife is a mystery to me. Skirmishing off the way you do. Leaving her alone, months on end.

  Lisa Glendon : Anyhow, I knew the risk I took when I married one of the black Glendons of Malvern.

  Miss Ettie Coombes : Marrying any man is risky. Marrying a famous man is kissing catastrophe.

• Miss Ettie Coombes : She sings Botticelli divinely.

  Lady Forsythe : [slightly indignant]  One doesn't "sing" Botticelli. One *paints* him.

  Miss Ettie Coombes : Oh, yes. I forgot for the moment.
