• Citizen Chauvelin : [after Percy recites his poem to Chauvelin]  Delightful.

  Percy Blakeney : What?

  Citizen Chauvelin : Especially that line, "Those Frenchies seek him everywhere."

  Percy Blakeney : Yes, I like that, too, because you see, I hear that they do and that gives the line a sort of something... sort of gives it... uh... uh... something. Uh... u-uh... if I make myself clear.

  Citizen Chauvelin : Clear as crystal.

• Percy Blakeney : Devilish clever race, the French. How they speak that unspeakable language of theirs defeats me.

  Citizen Chauvelin : You flatter us, Sir Percy.

  Percy Blakeney : No, no. You've got the cleverest heads in the world. The only trouble is, you all go to pieces around the neck.
