Quotes4

  • Arthur Winslow: Well, now, I understand that you wish to marry my daughter.
  • John Watherstone: Yes, sir. Of course, sir.
  • Arthur Winslow: Why of course? There are plenty of people about who don't want to marry her. Oh, we'll not quibble about that. I think we'll take the romantic role of the project for granted.
  • John Watherstone: I must say, with a European war blowing up, a coal strike on, and a fair chance of civil war in Ireland, it does seem a bit odd that the House of Commons should have to take a whole day to discuss your young brother and his... postal order.
  • Catherine Winslow: Well, all I can say, John, is if the day ever comes that the Hose of Commons has so much on its mind that it can't find time to discuss a Ronnie Winslow and his... postal order, well, this country will be in a far poorer place than it is today.
  • John Watherstone: Well, I know it's awfully important for you to establish Ronnie's innocence...
  • Catherine Winslow: Oh, that's not important to me, John.
  • John Watherstone: What?
  • Catherine Winslow: That's what's important to my father, it's not to me. All I care about is that people should know that a government department has ignored a fundamental human right, and they should be forced to acknowledge it. That's all that's important to me. But it is... terribly important.
  • Arthur Winslow: Now about your own income. Are you able to live on it?
  • John Watherstone: No sir, I'm in the regular army.
