Quotes5

  • Robert Phelps: What are you going to do? Now?
  • Hester: I don't know. Yes, I do too know. I'm going to marry an orphan!
  • Hester: The truth is I used to think quite often that one of my beaus was coming to the point. But, none of them ever did.
  • Robert Phelps: Why not?
  • Hester: Oh, I don't think it was entirely lack of allure, Rob.
  • Hester: You're a queer one.
  • Robert Phelps: You think so? How?
  • Hester: As a lover. I've never seen another like you.
  • Hester: I don't know if I quite share your enthusiasm for children.
  • Robert Phelps: You will.
  • Hester: Well, they don't exactly help a career, you know.
  • Robert Phelps: Oh, have you got a career?
  • Hester: Well, I fully intend to have one.
  • Robert Phelps: Oh, I'm glad. What kind?
  • Hester: Well, I - I'm not quite sure. I can draw pretty well and I'm not a bad musician - I might decide to compose. I might even write! I've often thought of it.
  • Mrs. Phelps: I won't have to be lonely now. I won't have to be lonely now.
  • Robert Phelps: No, mother. No.
  • Mrs. Phelps: Kiss me.
  • [leans down to Robert, who has his head on her bosom, and kisses him on the lips]
