Quotes 

• Rachel : She died on her wedding night.

  Philip : God, of what?

  Rachel : Of shock... I think.

• Rachel : Or, I run out of money and am forced to give Italian lessons to the *bored* wives of the gentry.

  Philip : Oh, no-no. Only spinsters teach. Everybody knows that. And then only when no one will support them.

  Rachel : And what about widows?

  Philip : Widows? Ah, well, widows remarry as fast as they can. And if they can't do that, they just pawn their wedding rings.

  Rachel : Well, I think I would prefer to give Italian lessons.

• Philip : What is it?

  Rachel : Tisane. It's Italian... tea infusions made from these herbs. Here, try. Try.

  [Hands him the cup] 

  Philip : [Takes a tentative sip from the cup]  It's, em, disgusting.

  Rachel : [laughs]  It's good for you. Good for the health.

• Rachel : The butter's - melting. You better lick your fingers.

• Rachel : I'll open the window before I go to bed.

  Philip : Then, the rain will come in and spoil the new carpet.

  Rachel : How pernickety you are.

  Philip : I thought you lots worried about things like that.

  Rachel : You lots?

  Philip : Women.

  Rachel : Only when they have nothing else to worry about.

• Rachel : Now, who will join me in drinking this delicious port wine? Or, unless, of course, the men wish to retire to the next room while we smoke our pipes.

• Rachel : All this was his passion. So, I made it my passion too.

• Philip : Everyone will be gawking at you.

  Rachel : Then I shall just gawk back.

• Rachel : How would you define it? Our femininity? Mrs. Pascoe's and mine?

  Philip : God knows. All I know is I like looking at you; but, I don't like looking at Mrs. Pascoe.

• Rachel : Can't you let me be a person in my own right? A woman! Who's making her way in the world - as she wishes to!

• Rachel : Don't you see, if I had wanted your money, I would have asked you for it!

• Philip : Good night.

  Rachel : Good night.

  Philip : And I hope you'll sleep.

  Rachel : You too.

  Philip : And not be angry with me.

  Rachel : I wasn't angry with you, Phillip. Come here. Bend down.

  [she gives him a kiss] 

  Rachel : Now, go to bed like a good boy. Go. Go!

• Rachel : Why should women suffer in childbirth? Is it simply their destiny to do so?

  Philip : I never thought about it.

  Rachel : No. Of course, you haven't. You know nothing about women.

• Philip : Rachel. Rachel.

  Rachel : What is it?

  Philip : I've got something for you.

  Rachel : I'm asleep.

• Philip : There's only one thing I want. But, I won't ask for it.

  Rachel : Why not?

  Philip : Because, you'd slap my face.

  Rachel : Tell me.

  Philip : I know - I - I know now, what I lack.

  Rachel : Do you?

  Philip : Yes.

  Rachel : Are you sure?

  Philip : I'm sure.

  Rachel : [blows out the candle]  Happy birthday.

• Rachel : I have known shame in my life. Terrible shame. But *this*, is the worst!

• Rachel : I wanted you to enjoy it, I wanted to thank you.

  Philip : For what?

  Rachel : For what? For everything! For being so kind to me. For the jewels. Or, did you - did you - did you think you had bought me?

• Rachel : Don't close the door. After last night, I cannot be alone with you.

  Philip : Please don't do this.

  Rachel : I don't feel safe with you.

  Philip : I beg you.

• Rachel : You are at the beginning of everything! A boy. How can I live with a boy - however lovely? Glorious puppy, wandering all around, miserable and wet nosed, looking for its mother. Drink. Drink.

• Rachel : Why shouldn't I have a life of my own? And make a life for myself? And do as I please!
