Quotes
-
[Outside her house, Frances bids farewell to Sir Leicester]
Frances Barbary : My sister's delighted with your visit, Sir Leicester.
Sir Leicester Dedlock : She hides her delight very well.
Frances Barbary : She's extremely shy in betraying her emotions with a gentleman as distinguished as you.
Sir Leicester Dedlock : So, I would not make a fool of myself were I to... pursue an interest?
Frances Barbary : She'd be thrilled to see you again, sir.
Sir Leicester Dedlock : Good night.
[Sir Leicester leaves, his hopes rekindled, while Frances goes back indoors]
Sir Leicester Dedlock : [Honoria is in the hallway]
Honoria Barbary : For the last time, I am marrying Captain Hawdon and that is the end of it.
Frances Barbary : What kind of marriage will you have to a penniless soldier, compared to one with a wealthy baronet?
Honoria Barbary : A kind I fear you'll never know: a happy one.
