Quotes 

• Miss Fortune : Oh, I've seen many lovely things on this little jaunt. But, I've had to see them alone. And, after all, we see them best, really, through the eyes of those we love. Wasn't it Rossetti who said something like that somewhere: beauty, without the beloved, is a sword through the heart.

• Miss Fortune : It's lonely at night, isn't it? You're so young.

  George-Anne Carleton : Yes.

  Miss Fortune : I don't like to see night come. Do you?

  George-Anne Carleton : Why, I don't think I ever noticed.

  Miss Fortune : When you're old, night comes too soon, always.

• Miss Fortune : What fun! You're all so young. So young in heart!

• Miss Fortune : One must have faith in the people one loves. One must have faith or go through life - alone.

• Miss Fortune : Oh, my dear! My dear! Young people are so foolish. They don't know that love never comes twice.

• Richard Carleton : Say, don't think - please don't think badly of me.

  Miss Fortune : Why should I think badly of you? You were only being gay and happy and proud, perhaps, of your job. And most of all, young.

• Miss Fortune : I'm an old woman, Mr. Anstruther. A very old woman - who has led a lonely, useless life. But, I've learned somethings in my loneliness. Perhaps because of it. I've learned not to judge people. I've learned to take them as I find them, not as others find them. Amd most of all, I've learned to give complete and unquestioning faith to the people I love.

• 'Sahib' Carleton : Permit me to say, ma'am, that you dance exquisitely.

  Miss Fortune : It is a beautiful dance, isn't it?

  'Sahib' Carleton : With you, ma'am, it's a poem.
