Tom Pettigrew
- 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!
- Tom Pettigrew: Drink doesn't affect me, sir. Drink has never affected me!
- Mr. Throstle: What causes you to stagger then?
- Tom Pettigrew: What do you call the colonies nowadays?
- Peter Standish: The United States of America.
- Tom Pettigrew: Hmmm. A trifle pompous, don't you think? But after all it's only temporary. You Americans will soon come back to the fold. Mark my words sir, you shan't be able to get along without us.
- Peter Standish: [ironically] I wish I had your knowledge of foreign affairs.
- Tom Pettigrew: It takes years!
