Lady Marguerite Blakeney : Oh, but Percy, through me, a good, a generous man may lose his life. Oh, Percy, what can I do? How can I warn him?
Percy Blakeney : Warn him? Against what?
Lady Marguerite Blakeney : Against the danger if he goes back to France.
Percy Blakeney : Well, if he's the kind of lunatic I take him to be, your warning's not going to stop him.
Lady Marguerite Blakeney : But he might be going to his death.
Percy Blakeney : That's all the fellow lives for. Besides, he doesn't know you're in love with him.
Lady Marguerite Blakeney : I'm not in love with him! I admire his head of wisdom, but I'm not in love with him.
Percy Blakeney : Oh, but you are. It's a dangerous game, my dear. Falling in love with a phantom. For all you know, he might be a married man who is deeply in love with his wife.

Lady Marguerite Blakeney : Can't you rise above trivialities for once?
Percy Blakeney : Can't rise above anything more than three syllables, my dear - never could.
-
Lady Marguerite Blakeney : Can you honestly deny that you've changed?
