Charlotte Bartlett, a Chaperon
- Charlotte Bartlett: I shall never forgive myself.
- Lucy Honeychurch: You always say that, Charlotte, but you always do forgive yourself.
- Charlotte Bartlett: I would like to thank your father personally for his kindness to us.
- George Emerson: You can't. He's in his bath.
- [first lines]
- Charlotte Bartlett: This is not at all what we were led to expect.
- Lucy Honeychurch: I thought we were going to see the Arno.
- Charlotte Bartlett: The signora distinctly wrote, South rooms, with a view and close together, instead of which she has given us North rooms without a view and a long way apart.
- Lucy Honeychurch: Why need mother hear of it?
- Charlotte Bartlett: Well, you tell her everything, don't you?
- Lucy Honeychurch: I suppose I do, generally.
- Charlotte Bartlett: There's such a beautiful confidence between you. One would hate to break it. And as I have said before, I am to blame.
- Lucy Honeychurch: I wouldn't want mother to think so.
- Charlotte Bartlett: She will think so, if you tell her.
- Lucy Honeychurch: I shall never speak of it, either to mother or to anyone.
- Charlotte Bartlett: We will both be as silent as the grave.
