  Mrs. Laing : Boy's best friend. Man's best friend is his dog.

• Mrs. Laing : All the Laings have been legal eagles.

  Collier Laing : Madam, that is just the point. All those lawyers marrying other lawyers and having little lawyers. Inbreeding is bad, you know. It ruined the royal families of Europe.
