Charlotte Granville: Mrs. J.H.P. Crane

Quotes 

• Mrs. J.H.P. Crane : There's something phony about you, Mr. Day. I've taken the trouble to ask a lot of questions about you. You don't make much money and you spend a lot. That sounds like adventure to me, and if that's the case, Penny will get in your way somday. And when that happens, I want to take her. I'm kind of a lonely old coot. I've plenty of money and no one to spend it on. And that child is the one human being I've ever met whom I want around me as long as I live.

• Mrs. J.H.P. Crane : I shouldn't be saying this, I know, but if you know anything about my necklace, I'd like to know. I can call these lads off, and I'd do it too, for your kid.

  Jerry Day : Well, I'd like to help, Mrs. Crane, but I'm sure this is all we can do.

• Jerry Day : You don't need to tell me how lucky Penny is that you want to take care of her. Do you still want to?

  Mrs. J.H.P. Crane : I certainly do.

  Jerry Day : Permanately?

  Mrs. J.H.P. Crane : That's the only way I would consider it.

  Jerry Day : Then that's the way it'll be. So she can grow up into a very lovely lady.

• Mrs. J.H.P. Crane : Oh, don't get huffy. I'm so old and so rich, I can say anything without all this fiddle-faddle.
