Pip Torrens: Nicolas Pratt

Quotes 

• Nicholas Pratt : The house was the first thing he persuaded her to buy. First summer there, we were all sitting on the terrace, and she complained about the dreadful waste of figs that fell from the tree onto the ground and rotted, while there were other people starving in the world. And David did this amazing thing. He told Eleanor to get down on all fours and eat every fig off the ground.

  Bridget Watson Scott : In front of you?

  Nicholas Pratt : Yes. She didn't protest though. She ate every single one.

  Bridget Watson Scott : Kinky.

• Anne Moore : Why do you think it's superior to be amoral?

  Nicholas Pratt : It not a question of being superior, it's a question of not being a bore. Or a prig.

  David Melrose : What one aims for is ennui.

• Nicholas Pratt : You look like a medieval witch.

  Bridget Watson Scott : And you look like an old fart. A stuffy conventional old fart!
