Constance Collier: Lady Caroline

Quotes 

• Lady Caroline : Keggs, repeat to his lordship what you just told me.

  Keggs : Very good, my lady. I have been informed by the cook, who was informed by the second footman, who was informed by the scullery maid, who heard it from the milkman.

  Reggie : You forgot the first maid, Keggs.

  Lord John Marshmorton : Will you shut up... Go ahead, man. What did the syndicate tell you?

• Lord Marshmorton : What do you mean, "Well, John?" What do you expect me to do?

  Lady Caroline : You will go and horsewhip him immediately.

  Lord Marshmorton : Oh, but I-I couldn't possibly. Why, I-I hardly know the fellow.

  Lady Caroline : You will horsewhip him directly you've had breakfast.

  Lord Marshmorton : Oh, all right, I'll think it over.

• Lady Caroline : A man of character, Keggs, should learn to control his passions.

  Keggs : Yes, milady. Thank you, milady.
