Mrs. Proudie
- Bishop Proudie: The canon-in-residence is not *in* residence.
- Rev. Obadiah Slope: I understand he is in Italy.
- Bishop Proudie: Italy?
- Rev. Obadiah Slope: On the banks of Lake Como.
- Mrs. Proudie: Whatever is a canon in residence doing on the banks of Lake Como?
- Rev. Obadiah Slope: Apparently he collects butterflies.
- Mrs. Proudie: I cannot imagine the bishop looking kindly upon a canon in residence who spends his time collecting butterflies- especially Italian butterflies.
- Rev. Obadiah Slope: And the bishop is generally unhappy about the state of the locks.
- Archdeacon Grantly: Locks? Specific locks, my lord, or locks in general?
- Bishop Proudie: Uh, merely one or two locks, er, on the outhouses.
- Rev. Obadiah Slope: Specifically, the coal house, the wood house, and the locks on the servants' bedrooms.
- Mrs. Proudie: Indeed, the locks in the entire building leave much to be desired.
- Bishop Proudie: Of course, a great deal depends upon a lock, but equally so, er, uh, upon the key. Well, hem, ha-hah, I always think that the fault - if fault there be - frequently lies, er, well, with the key, hmm, rather than the lock.
