Diana Rigg: Adela Bradley

Quotes 

• Mrs. Adela Bradley : How well do you know your guests?

  Myrtle Quincy : [Taking offense]  Enough. This is a respectable hotel!

  Mrs. Adela Bradley : It is? Oh, well.

  Myrtle Quincy : I beg your pardon!

  Mrs. Adela Bradley : Respectibility... terribly overrated.

• Mrs. Adela Bradley : [Aside to the camera]  I'm afraid my belief in God is roughly on a par with my belief in the tooth fairy. Still, in times like this even I can see that faith still has a place.

• Mrs. Adela Bradley : [Aside to the camera]  If a picture's worth a thousand words, a look is worth even more. As my hairdresser Monsieur Javais says, 'Same old coiffure - husband secure; new style of hair - husband beware.'

• Mrs. Adela Bradley : Little children, little headaches. Big children, big headaches. There are three golden rules for bringing up children. Alas, no one knows what they are.
