Wetherby Pond : [responding in exasperation to Miss Whitchurch informing him that her girls will arrive imminently, as St Swithin's is a boarding school that specializes in outposts] Madam, I am not in the least concerned where they come from or even if the sun never sets upon them.

Rainbow : There's a lady at the door, sir, wanting to know if you'll vote for Miss Winston in the election.

Wetherby Pond : St Swithin's? You don't mean that yours is a school of boys *and* girls?

Wetherby Pond : It means that not only have the Ministry made a mistake in sending a school here at all, but they've apparently been guilty of an appalling sexual aberration.
