Cecil Kellaway: Thomas Gainsborough
Quotes
-
Thomas Gainsborough : They're guessing everything from duchess to a baroness... I hope you won't tell anyone the truth, Hugh.
Sir Hugh Marcy : I never tell the truth.
-
Sir Hugh Marcy : I think I should be complimented, Thomas.
Thomas Gainsborough : For what, please?
Sir Hugh Marcy : For turning a little gutterbag into a duchess - a neat trick.
Lady Susan Dowitt : The trick was having me around. Kitty could never have passed for a lady without my examples to guide her.
Thomas Gainsborough : Permit me to remind you that if I hadn't found Kitty in the first place, and painted her portrait, none of this would even have happened. She wouldn't be a duchess and you wouldn't be in the foreign office, my dear.
Sir Hugh Marcy : I think we should all congratulate each other.
-
Brett Harwood Earl of Carstairs : Shall we stroll?
Thomas Gainsborough : The duchess was just saying how tired she was.
Kitty : Oh, I don't mind walking a little longer, Tom.
Brett Harwood Earl of Carstairs : [to Gainsborough] Of course, if you're tired, then you go on back to the studio. I'll see her grace home.
Thomas Gainsborough : I'm not at all tired.
Brett Harwood Earl of Carstairs : I see. Suppose the three of us stroll?
-
Brett Harwood Earl of Carstairs : It's a lovely evening. How did it happen you're not working, Tom? I thought you preferred to paint by candlelight.
Thomas Gainsborough : Yes, I do. But I'm not in the mood tonight. Besides, I was strolling with the duchess. But I have no intention of leaving her to you.
Brett Harwood Earl of Carstairs : Testy old genius, aren't you?
-
Prince of Wales : Gad, how extraordinary. Why does such a charming creature throw herself away on such a bounder?
Thomas Gainsborough : I don't know sir. He's so far beneath her.
