Mr. Throstle
- Tom Pettigrew: There's one habit of his which will never become the fashion. Every morning two serving maids have to carry buckets of water up flights of stairs for him to wash himself.
- Mr. Throstle: He washes himself? All over?
- Tom Pettigrew: Every morning!
- Mr. Throstle: [incredulous] All over, every morning!
- Peter Standish: It hasn't always been an eccentricity, Throstle. You admire the Romans - they bathed every day.
- Mr. Throstle: Only when they became degenerate, sir. The virile fathers of the republic...
- Peter Standish: ...were as dirty as you, I dare say.
- Tom Pettigrew: Drink doesn't affect me, sir. Drink has never affected me!
- Mr. Throstle: What causes you to stagger then?
